Hi guys who ladder bar set-up would you use and why, my car is currently set-up with a leaf link system and is already backhalfed planning ahead for winter upgrade......unless someone can tell me how to get this thing to 60ft better 1.50 is the best,,,,,,,Thanks....btw the way use leaf springs or coilovers

I really like the newest design Outlaw bars. Much thicker lower bar, more adjustability for pinion angle changes. I went from S/S leafs with spring clamps and a snubber, to ladder bar and coilovers. Best change I ever made.

My car(3450 lb Duster, 727 with the Mopar 2.77 low gear set, Dana 60 wth 4.10 gears with Strange Engr 35 spline spool and axels,Oregon pump gas through the mufflers with the air cleaner on ) ran a 1.394 60 ft and 10.01 at 132. MPH and another 1.401 with a 10.04 at 131.9 MPH this weekend with 1/4 Max ladder bars and Strange Engr. double adjustable coil overs with 150 lb springs, extension set at 5 clicks form dead soft and 4 clicks on the compression, 10.5x31x15W M/T ET drag slicks, there is more left in it, I need to test it some more and try the different settings on the shocks on a good track

My car 3400# 70 Dart, 1.402 60ft, 6.28@109.12 9.92@133 on super stock springs, Alston double ajustable ladder bars, 83/4, comp engineering 3-way shocks with housing floaters..

Our car 1.28-60' 9.57@140+ competition eng. ladder bars with strange coil overs.

What is the rest of your combo? My leaf springs were shot and I was thinking of going to the Cal-Trac system under my 64. Jimmy Rickman talked me out of that and advised the Alston ladder bar setup. He did a great job of putting it in and I am very happy with it. My best 60' was a 1.385 and it usually runs in the 1.40-1.41 range...

Id definitely go with the ladder bar and coil over setup. The 60's will be more consistent. I have a 2900 lb duster small block with 1.30 60 ft. My 60s vary about .004 in a day

Competition engineering ladder link with qa1 coilovers.

S&W double adjustable ladder bars and QA-1 single adjustable coil overs,, mid to upper 1.30 60ft's, at 3170# good price and good quality and they just plain work.

here a couple of pics of what i have now

After looking at your pictures I would convert it to a 4 link with coil overs and a panhard bar or diagonal link to locate the rear end on the side to side location. You will see a gain on the coil overs versus your current set up, make sure and buy a good set of externally adjsutable coil overs with long enough travel to make the car ride and respond well to the changes, like many things in life, longer is better than shorter My coil overs are 16.5 inches end to end extended with around seven inches of travel, mine is a street car so keep that in mind. Mine go through the trunk floor for the upper mounts and are mounted onto the roll bar down bars in the trunk, no bending or signs of stress to them so far, six yeas on the street and strip, 300 to 400 passes and 1300 street miles or so O I use to drive another Duster with single adjustable AVO brand coil over shocks that had three inches of travel it was a foot brake car and it would top the rear shocks out on the starting line when foot stalling it above 3000 RPM My message is to get coil over shocks with enough travel to use on your car I have 150 rate springs, some racers like 130 lb rate on there coil over cars, mine work fine for me, maybe they should be softer IHTHs

i dont know jack sh%$ but the way i see your setup, it looks like an endless instant center. that is the same suspension pro stocks used in the 70s and it worked. i would lower the top bar a hole, maybe raise the spring eye a hole and work with what you have before spending the money on changing it. your car is not really that fast plus you have a huge tire on the back. i dont think ladders would pick you up that much

If you ask me.. the stall on that converter is kind of high. 5400 for a big block car..
