Guys -What is the length of the bar w/o the heim ends?Also does the heims use a 3/4 inch head grade 8 bolts.

I have bars and heims at the race shop and maybe I can just buy the brackets.

Thanks
VINNIE

hey, that pic looks familiar...

What's it do? Virtually eliminates horizontal axle movement (read: auto-X, road course, open track). issue is moot for drag racing.

Big difference? YES!!! but only when cornering in a spirited manner, or something.

Install? pretty easy.

road imperfections? only during spirited turns... which is a good thing IMHO.

Ruslow said he would hunt me down and kill me if I gave out any info on his patented bar. Plus his Lightning is REAL FAST

Now that I have changed the springs, shocks, sway bars, and bushings, this is one of the best suspension mods to date. Save your money on aftermarket sway bars and do this mod first. The truck tracks through a turn much better. Wash board turns are no problem. Turn in feels quicker and much more planted. The install was not a big deal. Bolt on, no welding. You do need to drill two holes.
