Re: No Limit Trailing Arm Rear Suspension

OK, YES, the No Limit notch is 'shallower' or - not as deep - as some others. This is on purpose. With this depth, and a 1/2" bump stop, when the axle tube hits the bump, the top of the diff housing will be 1/4" from the bed floor. So, any more notch would A) needlessly weaken the frame rail, and/or B) require a bubble or tunnel in the bed floor to clear the diff housing. Since this notch was developed with "stock rails" in mind, we decided to match that idea with a "stock bed floor" concept.

As for the rear bar on our Trailing Arm kit, we are still set up to use the Hotchkis bar, if desired. Now, Autocross testing has yielded faster laps with-out the bar. The normal street driving, even on the Dragon, is more comfortable with-out the bar. But, high speed open-track laps are faster with the bar. **Factor in here 200 TW tires and some Aero to get them to stick, otherwise, no bar is a better choice.
