lowered or gasser? Can't decide. Don't have to.

Good old Mopar. Just, you know, don't try to swap back and forth between the two. Something about alignment...

I'm trying both to see which one I like best. Then I might get it aligned. It's on $25 used tires anyway. I'm not too worried. If I break something it was probably crap to begin with so I can replace it with a better part.

Word. Personal opinion, down just a tad from level in the front to give it some rake.
Still need to crawl under the Super Bee next time I'm back home, I know my dad hasn't done it. Car currently has a nice little angle going on...

I just googled it and my wagon has torsion bars too. Time to bring the nose down.

Lowered! It looks bad ass. With the nose in the air it looks like you don't have an engine.

Whichever works better for your type of driving, quite honestly. I am not too familiar with torison bar setups but I know with coilovers there's a "range" of acceptable/functional heights even though you can set the ride height outside of that range.

Lowered looks great! But if you are going to be tracking it a lot you will want gasser with the slant 6 torsion bars and Super Stock springs from mopar performance. I'm jealous of your 65 front end, I want one for my 64 Barracuda!

Sweet!
On my 911 (which is all Torsion bar) the front can be adjusted with just an 11mm wrench and tape measure. The rear is much more complicated - you have to pull the whole rear suspension apart, pull out the bars, and re-install them on different splines. It gives a mind boggling amount of adjustability, but at the cost of being a huge pain in the ass.
Is that awesome Dodge torsion in front, coil in back?
Finally - in my opinion- lower. Gasser may look amusing, but someday you have to drive it, and although you may be able to align it right, it's still going to be much less stable than stock - which in my opinion is always a bad thing.

Leafs in the back. This is America. Independent rear suspension is for Europeans.
