At the top hole from the ladder bar is completely parallel to the frame with 0 degrees. This is the first ladder bar set up I have done. I am use to trianulated four link. I was just going off a few sites about setting up a ladder bar. I welcome the help setting this up.

No pictures today but I have taken over 100lbs off the the front end today. I removed the wiper motor and arms, removed power steering pump, lines, box and all linkage. The stock radiator and heavy two fan set up. I cut the front frame off from the crossmember forward and will be re working the frame. Along with the aerospace brakes and drag wheels I think it will be about 200lbs lighter on the front.

What kit did you go with for the aerospace brakes? I looked on their site but couldn't find anything. I'm wanting to convert my 95 RCSB to a different lug pattern for drag wheel selection. Just curious on how you went about it

Just Curious, Why not cap the front cross member and make tube front frame rails to support the core support???

If you look at Blown 06 or George C. build thread you will see what I mean.

The Gbody spindle mod looks promising. I will have to do some trials
