Re: The stock suspension can now be removed!
I'm still considering it but geezo, it's 1,700 miles for me - prolly between $750 and $900 worth of fuel alone.chpcamaro wrote:yea you better be ready by then because around april or may is when i was going to try and come out before it gets to hot and hopefly we can get a bunch of people from here to show up
I'm still considering the suggestion someone had about possibly meeting in Phoenix - not mid-way in between, but much closer...

Looks good Chris, but I'd still like to see 32 x 14 x 15's under the car...
Aren't you suppose to be putting up the Christmas lights and all the decorations instead of working on the car?

Re: The stock suspension can now be removed!
Don't forget to take that wire tie off the driveshaft! Did you happen to weigh the bars and crossmember before you put them on?
Looks like they cleared the floorboard pretty good. I would have expected you would have needed to notch it for them.

Re: The stock suspension can now be removed!
why did you go and do that ? the 90's have passed prostreet is dead, next you will have mirros of a el co, shaved door handles and tewwd int. did you just get tired of working the leafs ?
Re: The stock suspension can now be removed!
I've had the ladder bar set up for a few years, was going to put them in my last car but never did. I'm moving the car to a true 10.5 class and felt the ladder bars would be more consistant. They weigh less and work better with nose heavy cars. My car is like 58* on the front with the BB in it and to hard to move the weight back. I would have to put a bunch of weight in the back to even it out. leaf springs cars like to be around 50/50 or so.
