OK GARY, YOU SOLD ME ON THEM

If you guys don't mind I'd like to pick your brains(?). 1st,What length ladder bars are they and 2nd, What spring rate do you use for the coilovers. I have a place that is local that made my rollbar and make suspensions too.3rd, Do you grind off the stock 4 link brackets?This would be a great time for a 9 inch rear then?
Thanks,Pat :beer

 

Chassisworks and S&W make 36" 'bars...I have the S&W dbl adjustable's.
Spring rate on my car is 170#
And yes,I took everything of the housing that wasn't needed..It's all dead weight.

 

4 link

Still have those heavy front lower 4 link mounts , I am thinking about going back to a 4 link .
