Tiger......I left the upper shock mounts in the stock location. It definitely changes the angle of the shocks and at first I wasn't sure if I liked the way it looked but I had no choice. I marked the rear shocks for travel and started making passes at the track. Both shocks showed travel so I left them alone. No signs of binding and no funny noises and the car is stable at high speeds. I was happy with that...........

I am in the process of swapping my 10 bolt for a 12 bolt. The problem is the 12 bolt I have was narrowed originally and the spring perches are pretty close to the backing plates. Because of this my J bolt bar plates are too wide and won't fit. I was wondering if someone could tell me how far the Caltrac plates stick out past the leaf spring. I was hoping it was pretty close
:rolleyes:
i am not running trac bars thought about it just never did.
