what would you do? rear suspension??
for rear suspension. I have a 69 panel truck. I have a big, big block. plan on a bottle. 750HP on engine. I like the idea of using the factory long arms and good coil overs. But, would it hook up better if I did use a ladder bar set up? I have a narrowed rear, ladder bars and coil overs from a Malibu I was gonna tub. I wasn't going to "tub" this, but just open the wheel wells and run some 31x12's Not really sure how it's gonna hook up. I figured with all the extra weight, it would do fine...

Re: what would you do? rear suspension??
The truck arm acts like a ladder bar. Only longer which could be a major help for a long loe icg. Lower the front mounting point for less initial hit to the tire.

As Super said, drop the front mount point 6" and stuff some tire under it. Mine really hooks well with the $14 rear shocks from O'reilly's on the rear..

Re: what would you do? rear suspension??
Search for a thread I started in this section regarding adjustable lca mounts. Cheap and easy to make. Or buy the grossly over priced ones from hodgkis.
