I spent the day working in the garage on the TBSS's rear suspension. I moved the Parking Brake Cables, ground down the Brake Line Brackets, reversed the Brake Line Tabs, installed the BMR (Solid Upper and Lower Adjustable) Rear Control Arms and modified the BMR Upper Control Arms for the air bag load leveling sensors. This was all in preparation for a new set of 17x5.5 Front and 17x10 Rear Boze Wheels with M&H Racemaster DOT Drag Radials I will be installing in the near future.
Removing the Parking Brake Cable Bracket, Brake Line Tabs and Air Bag Load Leveling Arms.
Tab for Air Bag Load Leveling Sensors on Upper Control Arms.
Comparison of Stock 4 Link Rear Control Arms and BMR Solid Upper and Adjustable Lower Control Arms.
Drilling out the top of the Upper Control Arm Mount on the frame to move the Parking Brake Cables and the mount for more clearance. I also Ground down the Rear Brake Line Tabs for more clearance.
Drilling and tapping the Solid BMR Upper Control Arms for the Load Leveling Sensors. I used collared Brass Bushings and 1/4" 20 x 3/4" Stainless Steel Button Head Screws. I also installed 90 Degree Grease Fitting in all the forward end of the BMR Control Arms.
Finished Pictures - There is now enough room to tuck over 1 1/2" more tire inside the wheel wells.

Thanks, I cant wait for the cage and drag radial install.
It is going in for a Cage made out of Chrome Moly Tubing and will have 3 Custom Corbeau Race Seat with 3" 5 Point Harnesses. We ordered the tubing last week (80 Feet of Tubing) and will start on the cage as soon as the seats get here. We are putting 3 race seats in the cage, 2 front and a center mounted rear seat (for my son).
I will use the same size Drag Radials as the SSR we built. They will be the M&H RaceMaster Drag Radials 185/55r17 fronts and 390/40x17 rear.
