If you were going to do a anti roll bar out back why wouldn't you do it best for the track and do a drag bar? Made from cromoly so it won't flex at all. Will help plant both tires much better then just a anti roll bar.

Seen ya out there this past weekend. There was a "6.50" index for all the cars out there so you can't be to upset. There was some fast stuff man. Plus I don't think anyone was hooking like they should. The wind/weather was **** for racing IMO. All in all I do have to give ya props for bringing the full size out there. Better luck next time.

Yeah, I'm not upset about anything. We all had to get down the same road. I'm not the fastest anywhere I go, but that don't mean **** on the street lol

Sounds like that would suck *** for street driving. I'd rather have an ARB and preload one side so I wouldn't have to keep bolting/unbolting the bar for street or track.

I am not sure how many people(if any) run a drag bar on the street. Would have to ask around on tech.

the truck I just picked up is a regular cab and it has a hotchkis front and rear sway bar, with edlebrock shocks, haven't been to the track yet but its much better on the street leaving that my old ext cab truck with rancho 9 ways and long bar set up. Feels better but then again its apples to oranges, Im gonna try a few different set ups just to see.

have you ever thought about switching out to a lower load leaf spring? like possibly one of the ones out of an astro van? it should help transfer more weight
