They are RollinLimp2001, Super Heavy Duty. I'm almost worrying about the extra weight

They'll go great with what I picked up the other night

now all you need is a driveshaft loop and your ready to go. I love my hoosierdaddys and boy do they hoooooooooooooooook. I love lifting the front wheels off the ground at launch. Kinda scares people that don't know what a lightning really is.

I did my install at the track for a true test to see if they helped that much. Ran before I put them on and then after with that being the only change and I picked up some good 60 foot! don't know about overall time cause that was the run when I blew up the monster box tranny with the sprag inside. oh well, next year.

Thanks All
Ya Spanly I figure a Drive Shaft Loop is a must now, gonna order it maybe tonight from Sal of PSP. I had Hellwig Traction Control Springs already on the L, but I figured with 28" Hoosier's I need something super heavy duty (these are). I WANT TO DO WHEELIES TOO Great day to wash and clean the beast, good one Trash Guy. You probably read about my trip to the car wash yesterday Dam I can't wait til next season, I'm already excited about it, I got some catching up to do If I ever plan on keeping up with Killa, Chim and the rest of you.
"Merry Christmas All "

I just put the PSP safety loop on. I looked at others and Sal's was really the only bolt on. No need to remove the drive shaft.

Hey Rob_02Lightning, what’s the difference between the type of traction bars you have and the other type that bolts to the frame up front instead of using a rubber snubber? I would think your type would let the springs wrap some?

Your right 69 they will allow some wrap and I'm not sure if I like that either , but I know MANY OF THE BIG BOYS (11 sec club) are using them and I spoke to many of them, they told me they're great and work excellent. I tried to keep my Hellwig Traction Control Springs on at the same time, but couldn't, they've been good to me so far and they worked great to prevent wrap.

Hey Rob, let me know how you like them... I'm going to put some on my 69 Mustang and have been trying to decide what type to go with. The type that bolt on up front I have to get my ride height at a level that I'm happy with before I put those on. I'm still not sure how the type with the snubbers work though? Seams like when your on the gas the subbers would pull towards the ground? They look way cool on your truck! nice mod
