Re: lift bars

I have a set that I coppied from SSM. Same specs etc but with rod ends instead of their solid hard to grease bushings.
Seem to work great, havent had any problems. Just be sure you reinforce your torque boxes as they are kind of hard on them

Re: lift bars

You are much better running some new upper and lower control arms and some reinforced tq boxes. The lift bars will cause issues if you start putting some power down. I launch my car on a full slick at 6000 RPM with Steeda uppers and lower. I dont have traction issues!

Yea some do some dont. When I didnt know what I was doing with a Fox I tried them on my caged 408 car and they were fine. I had a few 10.0x passes and no issues. After I put some nice lowers and adjustable uppers, I was in the 9.8x range. I give credit to my tires for that one though. Went from a 26" to a 28" MT
