mark, any pics of your setup? my frame is right around 36" and speedway says to add 3" so i came up with 39". now if it was just 3" from the end of the pillow block, things would be slightly different.

I want the arms as close as possible to the frame, as they do get in the way of the tire at full lock.
im with you on this, but i wasnt sure how far below the frame the pillow blocks put the bar. if there is a gap i would assume that the bar ends could move freely. but i really dont want the arms hitting the frame at any point, even on jackstands. if it is necessary for tire clearance, i guess i could make a spacer....... anyone have any first hand knowledge????

The locating collars don't need to be on the outside of the frame, unless your pillow blocks are all the way to the outside. Mine are in the stock location, so my collars go inside the frame.
im really new to the idea of splined bars, so i assume the collars keep the bar from moving laterally. but you also talked about pillow blocks on the outside. is there any way to put the arms inside the blocks. i really need to do this for the rear bar, but i didnt think the pillow blocks would work on the splined portion.

thanks, Tim
