Has anyone ever used leaf spring sliders(made by afco racing) in there car before? Specificly a(68 barracuda)? Just wondering if they work or not? Having some problem with wheel hop,its a 68 barracuda all motor small block N/A deal,best et 9.52 @ 142mph. Thanx

I don't believe sliders will prevent wheel hop.

not to steal a thread, but what are the advantages of the sliders besides lowering the car?

I dont no what the advantages are thats why I'm asking you guy's.

It frees the spring up.The bushing has a ton of drag on it.The slider lets the spring react faster.

I'll let you know as soon as I get it finished.
On paper , it makes sense.
We'll see if it translates on pavement.
I am moving the leafs under the frame rails and I have heard a couple folks who said they liked them , so I decided to give them a try.

The sliders move on roller bearings so they move very easy, They also slide fore and aft, not in an arc like a shackle which changes ride height some as it moves

They allow the spring to move more freely as 8sec dart said. They allow the spring to move in a more natural plane as well. From what I hear they also make shock adjustments more apparent. I have a spare set that I won't be using, PM me if you are interested.

I thought they were for using with ladder bars on a leaf spring car?

I made boxes that took up the area of shacks so to keep things in the org location.

What these do is as mentioned lets your rear springs react instantly, in some vids from the rear my shocks fully extend when the clutch is dumped, the QA1 double adjust helped slow it down a bit to hook better, at first they would extend too quickly and then the tires would spin.

Qa1 single adjustible,tried alot of settings,now ordered QA1 doubles

i've been using their sliders for the last couple of seasons and really like them.the idea of the sliders is to help control the springs rate.with shackles as they swing thru their arc the spring rate will change thus unloading the tires.if you use them make sure that you install them with a slant down in the front not flush with the frame.i also have their ball & socket type front spring bushings which help to eliminate spring bind from twisting.

Not to steal the thread...

I just mocked mine up on the duster and there is some slop in between the bushing and the rear spring eyelet. Is this designed this way, or do I need to machine something for a pressed fit??

Thanx for all your input,will try them.

i'm using ss springs and on mine i actually had to open up the diameter of the rear spring eye to press the aluminum sleeve in.i wouldn't think slop there would be a good thing.
