Make it handle

I looked at your 3 link kit, but feel like there is no way that my large diameter aluminum driveshaft would fit that crossmember.

Also looking at these parts:

X-Member Kit

No Limit Rear Sway Bar

Your Fatbar kit, X-Member kit and rear sway bar kit would account for roughly $2045 of my $3,000 budget. If these three pieces would be a good fit for my application, what front (1979 Camaro) sway bar would you reccomend? What else would you invest in to improve the handling? I'm pretty well stuck (welded) with the Camaro sub-frame. What front springs are best suited for use in this truck? Or do you reccomend coilovers?

If I order your Fatbar kit, do you suggest going with the RideTech or Viking coilover shocks?

In addition to your parts listed above, if that is what you reccomend, I was thinking that I would purchase these, to finish up this stage of my suspension, then allow my bank account to recuperate for a bit. ��

Ridetech dual rate springs: (long ago I cut a coil off of each of my Eibach springs, and now the truck sits too low. Looks good, but suspension not in the "sweet spot"! And, in my 340 mile trip to Phoenix area and back, my truck crossmember bottomed out on the freeway 5 times! 🤯 Makes a little racket, but definitely got some attention when it shot sparks everywhere after dark. I don't want to start a fire, damage roads, or get hurt, so I need to correct my ride height!

RideTech MuscleBar for '79 Camaro:

That would pretty well spend $3,000! But seems like a bunch of high quality, well matching pieces, that would compliment one another. Thoughts?


Again, thank you for any and all guidance and knowledge that you are willing to share! I would like to thank you by purchasing any parts that I need/can afford from you!

I'll add a couple of pictures. The old '59 is ugly, but sure a riot to drive!

Nice build. You might reach out to Rob/NLE directly for a faster response. While he does respond here, it sometimes takes a minute. The direct approach might help get the info quicker.
