who is using Upper Track Links ?

If you, or someone you know is using the Lightning Upper
Track Links I would like to hear from you.
These seem like they are probably one of the best looking
mod's I have seen so far for our supensions.
Before I buy a set I would like to talk to two or three
different people who have them.
Please contact me if you can help me with this issue.

Marc

these yet /

Unhappy Yeah, like Marc said!

Me too. I'm interested in how good they work and would love to see a pic of some installed.

They are real old technology. That concept/design has been around since the 50's-60's. Do not know of any L users.

Talk to aaron at metco,he had these on his truck around a month ago and had nothing but good things to say about street use. At the time he had not tried them yet at the strip as they were closed but maybe by now he has.

Marc,
These are fairly new they just came out within the last few months.I do know of 2 people that have them on there truck right now and love them,they do what they say they do according to them.One of them has been testing his trac links at the track the last few weekends and has ran several 1.70 60ft. times on stock convertor and 18inch nitto drag radials!This will most likely be my next mod to complete my setup!

hey there marc this is aaron at metco i have been using the links for 2 months now in conjunction with our fiberglass springs and they work great.Whats best though is that it is all above the spring theres nothing hanging down under the truck.they are polyurethane bushed and greasable plus they are a complete bolt in piece no drilling or welding.if you have any questions call 864 332 5929. thanks

Where would you reccommend a highly modified L with convertor to set the preload adjustment at?The ones i know that have them do not have a convertor or the power i am making!

What about lowered trucks?

Trucks with a bassani exhaust?

Do you have any pics of this setup?

Cool Yeah, like Killa said

We want to see some pics, preferably installed. And "lowered" is an issue with me too.

Killa,

Have you got your smooth steps installed yet? I want to see them!

Bassani wouldn't be an issue, but lowering might.
