Default Ladder bar setup

Im looking at doing a ladder bar setup. I am going from a head and cam LS1 to a 408 and turbo. The motor will be done next week, and I am still deciding on what turbo setup I am going with. I never really got great results from the caltracs, so I want a setup that I can adjust with scales. I am looking at a local fabricator, but I'm open to different setups if anyone has suggestions.

yes sir but and the only rason i did not go with a 4 link was you have to cut the axle tube ends off to slide the brackets on and that is to much bs for me it would have taken twice as long to do imo and i was not doing all that ****.

i am happy with what i have

I would say try some good shocks with a good tire and the cal-tracs, there are guys running deep 10s with that type setup with no issues, no reason you can't do it too if you're willing to put out the effort.
