looks good! we got em on the orange dart. they are on the frame rail though and not recessed like yours! the orange nova says you're gonna need more than that but hey don't shoot the messenger lol.... Eventually he will have to stop hiding

Are you guys bolting or welding your sliders to the frame rails? . Mine Bolt in I am able to put shims under each slider as needed to help get the car to scale the way I want Before recessing them into the frame, how did you have them mounted? Were they bolted to a plate that was attached to the frame rail? I am getting ready to mount mine sometime this week and i am trying to figure out the best way to do it.

I like that you moved the front perch up along with mounting the sliders to the frame. It seems to have a negative effect on 60' when the spring gets tipped up at the rear mounting point and is not longer close to or parallel with the chassis centerline. I moved the front eye of the leaf spring into the upper hole to compensate for the extreme angle created by replacing the shackles with sliders welded to the frame. The idea of shimming to weights right is cool too.
Thanks for sharing!

How do the sliders effect handling, or are they for drag racing only?
