Question Rear tire rubbing

I have just finished my Factory Five Cobra, and I am having a problem with the rear drivers side tire rubbing do to torque. Everything is fine until i punch it, and then it just throws the whole right side over, and the tire rubs on my fender. I have added spacers, and even welded a block to keep the frame from going down, it has helped considerably, but I thought maybe others had been having this problem and there was a known fix.

By the way, I am new, this is my first post.

Later guys

Jon

Lightbulb Body/Frame problem...

Jon...
I'm sure some of the FFR members here will see and answer your post.

Have you posted the same question on
Cobraforum ?

There's quite a gathering of FFR builders on that forum.

Default Been there..

Evidently your all the way up on the springs already? Probably need to go coil-overs like I need to do. I had 60 series T/A's at one time, and they rubbed a bit. I've gone to 50's, added a sway bar and ground a bit off the inner crossmember and don't have any more rubbing.
