I am in the middle of my drag car project and would like to go to a different ladder bar. I have a set of JEGS brand ladder bars (31 1/2") and would like to use a set of competition engineering ladder bars (33 1/2"). The axle housing brackets have 1/16" difference in hole spacing. Would this have any effect on the comp engineering bars lower link being 1/16" low from being level. Hope I am getting my point accross. What you fellas think?

The lower bar level to the ground is all relative. If the car has a couple degrees of rake it will move the front pivot. Raising or lowering the front or rear of the car will move the front pivot. It doesn't matter if the height is changed by tire diameter,torsion bar adjustment, or coil over mount hole selection. As you can see plenty of adjustment is available along with the front ladder bar mount hole selection. personally I think that shock selection and adjustment are the keys.

I dont know how many holes you have in front but if
you can get the fronts angled slightly down from level
you will be fine... the farther away from centerline
of the axle the greater the leverage arm which tends
to cause it to wheel stand(but your only moving 1/16)...
the higher the front of the bars, the harder the hit,
lower is softer with more forward push
