Ahh, Old Shool drag racing technoligy. Your probably not going to get a warm reception for this suspension design here. I know from experiance you can hook on a dirt road with this stuff, I used to pull the front tires at stoplights (litterly) with this set up, but here we are trying to get through the corner. And this slider set up is white knuckle city soon as you need to turn.

A better combination to possibly do both would be drop leafs and Cal Tracs, or a 4 link (G Machine 4 link)

I'm with Frank on this! If you want to do leafs...then just add cal tracs.

Caltrax and leafs, that's what I got now, but that's because I'm saving up for Air-bar.....

After looking at a number of different setups....I think I'm leaning towards an AME tri 4 bar clip package. I was going to replace the frame rails anyways, so with this kit...the new rails are already all welded together and all the brackets are in place. Then I'd have a good handling car. I have to be realistic, if I ever make it to the track I would be lucky so I don't want to build a race set up. Does this sound better now?
