i used them for MANY years. until the fuzz made me remove them from my car one night. said they would " dig into the ground if i got a flat", and i would "lose control of the vehicle".



I had a roadrunner in high school with slappers, in around 79. One day I ran over a piece of plate steel left on the road to cover some road work. For some reason I didn't put a tire on it to hold it down, and the steel plate sucked up and under my car, ending up spit out the back after wrapping the passenger side slapper bar around backward and bending the rim on that side. I figure it dug into the ground during that process, but at 50-60 MPH or more, it didn't do much to stop the car. Probably harshed my 17 year old mellow though.

... and yes, I put another set on the car, probably on my next payday.

Everybody makes fun of a hillbilly until they need something fixed
