Guys need some gut check here. Looking at the Fays2 weld in kit. I am familiar with the KP component kit for trucks. I have a 1968 impala. Goals for the car are spirited driving. Possible track day.

Current pan hard bar is approx 35.75"cen to cen. 4 link setup. I have approx 0.75" swing travel at full swing. Running a 255 tire. Air suspension on lower bars. Lower bars are global west rubber bush at reared and spherical at the body. Uppers are umi poly bushed.

I am at the ready to powder coat the chassis stage. If I am going to do this now is the time. Is this for me?

Advantages
Possible 275+ tire
-.75" movement on pass side.
Cool factor.


Car averages about 3k miles a year. Local shows. Looking for high 600hp. 255 tires are never going to hook. So future wider tire is probably not far off.


Jim has been great for info and sent me info for measurements.

Just looking for some one to confirm that this is a path I'm needing to head down or if I am just star struck by the whole idea.

Thanks in advance
