Gents,
I need some help. I recently purchased a 1973 Charger and the person I bought it off of wanted to make it a racing car. He lifted the back end and dropped the front. The front end is 3 inches off the ground and I want to lift it to a normal height. How can I do this? Do I need new Springs, shocks, or mess with the torsion bar? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You should start a new thread.

First off, welcome.  Next, I would repost this as a new thread, possibly in the chassis suspension etc... thread.  Unfortunately I do not know the answer to your question.  My guess is that others will need to know what was done to alter the ride height.  It sounds pretty extreme to me, but maybe it is something that can just be fixed by adjusting things like the torsion bars.

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Your right! It looks like Ron does have a lot of pull here.

As previously stated, Ron had no problem trying to help me get my Firecore RTR unit working, even though the problem ended up being 100% my stupidity during installation.  Several years earlier he helped me through a complete top end upgrade that I never would have attempted on my own without his help.  He is most definitely a great guy that, I believe, enjoys helping us less knowledgeable hobbyists....

Ron has been a great help to me. Both on the forum and messaging. He knows a lot and takes his time to help. I put him in celebratory status and I hope to meet him in person some day.

Blinky has not been on since May 13th, last Friday
He banned himself then, perfect! :lol:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I'm starting to wish I'd bought a FireCore ignition system and f*cked up the installation, just so Ron could help me out.
He sounds like a dude.  :icon_smile_wink:

I wonder if he knows anything about 401K's and investment portfolios.  I could use help with that, also...
