The adjustability is AMAZING! The front doesn't mount through the eye of let spring either so installion will be easy!

You can go to smithracecraft.com to check them out. I think they sell for $339. Well worth it!

No. We're going to wait until we lower it since the hangrs have to come off anyways. I still have the bars on there that Tyler made me for now.

If you don't have a set of trac bars, I highly recommend these from Smith Racecraft. They have some a the fastest leafspring cars around. They're local to you dallas boys as well

They're really good at what they do. My buddy took his '55 chevy small tirecar to them last winter because the suspension was junk. Best it ran was 5.51 in the 1/8th. This year after their work we set the record in his class at 5.32 @ 134mph.

Well went to the track last night on a whim. Didn't have anything else to do since my ol lady is out of town so my buddy offered to tow it to the track for me. Made a decent pass on motor with no timing in it. I pulled a couple more degrees out for the bottle even though I could have left it alone or even added 1* degree with as crappy as the weather was.

I made 3 passes and between these new(old) tires being complete junk and the track not being very good my 60' was **** and then when the power would come in it would really start blowin the tires off. Got a couple videos which was kinda cool to see though

I like the looks of the adjustability on those bars.

Yeah, I can't wait to get them on and do some testing

As of right now, I have some serious issues to address before it goes back to the track or street. Lowered, new double adjustables for front and back shocks, smith bars and some actual new tires. Going to put some hoosier 28x10.5 c07 on. I'm 99% sure that most of my problems last night were tire related. On the last pass where I did two burnouts, these junk tires were barely tacky at best
