What are your intentions on the car?? Street ? Strip?

im sorry didnt think of that it will be a little street but more race car....we want to try and run down in the 6.0/6.50 1/8 mile with a big block in it...if at all possible as big a tire that we can stuff in the stock frame rails it will be caged but im am open to sugg. never been down this road before thanks mike

My Duster has a set of 1/4 Max (RJ Race Cars catalog brand)ladder bars and a set of 16.5 long Strange single adjustables(now double adjustables )coil overs. I had a chassis guy installed the ladder bar kit, sub frame connectors, coil overs, wheel tubs to the stock sub frames and chrome moly roll bar at the same time. I had to replace the 8 3/4 after ripping the ladder bar mounts off and twisting the dog snot out of the 8 3/4 housing I bought a 3/4 ton Ford truck housing with 3 1/8 diameter tubes, nobody I could find makes ladder bar mounts for that diameter tubes I had the welder trim the original ones that rip off and he welded them onto the Dana Before ordering coil overs measure carefully for the length to use,mine ended up being attached to the roll bar trunk brace above the trunk floor, I wanted( and got ) a good ride but didn't think of where the mount would need to be with the 16.5 inch extended long ones Measure twice, buy once and be happy with the results

I like the Competition Engineering ladderlink bars. No matter how far you turn the adjuster the bolts will never get into a bind. My car has been 8.50's and 1.18 60ft with them. Chassis Enginineering's Tripple Adjustable ladder bars look good too.

thanks guys thats the info im looking for cause i really dont know where to start ive been doing alot of reading on this and how to do the install...
