Outta curiosity what did Larry say about the 2-link when you parked next to him at the car show?

Which car show are you referring to?
The parkville cruise...?

I just set it up
Haven't even brought it out yet

I need longer bars but i need hptuners more right now. Once I get hptuners the cats, egr, evap and all other emissions bs will be pulled.

I did seafoam my truck today. 204k miles and the 1/4" of buildup in my intake tells me my egr valve works!

Picked up new coil springs off a sun fire and new longer spring hangers today. going to replace my current 33" bars with longer bars.

I'm trying to figure out a setup that'll pull down the rear and lift the front simultaneously.

I figured out a suspension setup that'll lift the front and load the tires. I extended the 2 link 16" forward and am attaching another spring hanger to the front. When I hit the throttle it'll try to lift and apply pressure to the front hanger.

Since it only contacts under torque and isn't rigidly mounted it'll still cycle the suspension normally.
