Have you had a chance to test out how this style of suspension launches at the drag strip yet?
I've been talking to a company about doing a similar setup on my truck.
Wondering if I will notice any difference at the drag strip over leaf springs and cal-tracs..
Or is the gain with this style suspension to be had in a road course environment only?

Looks awesome!
It does look very similar to a lowered 67-72 c-10, now that it was mentioned!
And wow, a free suspension set-up out back, damn.... I've been wanting to link mine for so long now.
Any chance your friends want some other friends?? I can supply plenty of beer for a set-up like that, haha
So just curious, any particular reason to do it like that vs. a 4-link? I'm interested in maybe trying out some Solo's sometime in the near future with my truck too.

Reviving this from the dead sorry, but, being that I'm sure you've lived with it for a while now was wondering if you had any further thoughts? Anything else you would do different? Totally happy as is?
I was literally planning to do the same thing to my truck and was wondering if anyone had done it to theirs. My main goal is handling not drag racing.
Also, seeing that it's based of the nascar truck arm set up, how has it held up being ladder bar type arms? Everything I've read up on those set ups says the bars are designed to twist to prevent binding. Hence why the factory ones look like I beams. No durability issues over the past couple years?
Any insight is much appreciated. Thank you

Truck's been sitting in storage for the last 2 years, however things might be different this coming year if I get my living situation sorted out.
