What does it look like when sitting on the ground with engine installed?

Hi mike.
Right now with the motor in and the weight resting on the rotors the angle has not changed. It just seems like the lower shock tab is not located properly. I am going to clean up the stock springs and throw them in to see if it changes the geometry at all. Not sure if this is also a problem. But even with the motor weight on the chassis the springs are still a bit loose. I figured adding another 500 lbs or more from the motor it would compress everything enough to tighten up the spring clearance.
Do you guys think it still neeeds the weight of the body to tighten the clearance of the springs?
Thanks
Paul
