i have had several 64-66 trucks, i have run them with bags, coil overs, springs with wieght jacks. long, low mounted panhard (low roll center) makes for a really "good" budget set-up.

i have also used them on a few street rods, just for doin somethin different, the system rides nice, even in a short wheel base vehicle.

i havent ever actually run a truck arm set-up through a suspension program, obviously the pinion angle is fixxed, so it could be an issue if you have lots of travel, and i have no idea how the roll steer/i.c./anti-squat etc comes out on paper, BUT, according to the ass-o-meter, i am very comfortable with the system as far as learning to drive it, very predictable, very responsive. it obviously works well in the comp drift camaro..... and the nascar guys been useing it for years.

plus it is a very simple and cheap set up to fab from scratch.
