Finally the time came to load the batteries onto the finished trunk rack. I measured the height of the rear of the car to see how it would handle the 800 or so pounds of extra weight (including the rack). The center of the rear bumper came down just over 4 inches!!! By the way, the first two rows of batteries are just below floor level to leave room for a future supplemental charging generator. The last two rows are staggered higher into the trunk so they will be less noticeable from outside the car.
Actually, I like the way the car sits down over the rear tires. To me, it looks a lot better with this stance. I'm sure glad the previous owner installed those heavy duty leaf springs.
