Are there any spindles that would work in place of the 73'-up Dusters,that are 2"-3" taller?The angle of the control arms with the car at factory height seems to be all wrong for oval track racing.By lowering the front with the torsion bolts,the lower control arm's inner piviots will be the same height as the lower balljionts which is good. It would be better if they were lower than the balljoints but the control arms would probaly hit the frame.The next problem seems to be the angle of the upper control arms. The balljoints are lower than the inner piviots,this is giong to hurt camber gain.I mapped out the piviot points to scale and snapped the chalk lines to find the rollcenter up above the hood somewhere,don't know for sure,it was off the paper.Any ideas short of cutting and lengthing the spindles?Would C-Body spindles help the situation?

We used some spindles off a Dakota on a modified. You have to unbolt the bottom part then turn it upside down to make it longer then heat the section where the lower balljoint is and bend it until the balljoint hole is stright. then we reamed it for tall balljoints. The spindle will end up 10 inches from top to bottom so add your ball joints and you have a tall setup
