A leaf spring truck handles pretty good without the bar.....a lot better with tho! I ran no bar for many yrs, looking for the chassis reaction on a stick shift truck. Im not racing tho, & am thinking smooooove ride on the open road.......she may go back to 400 hydro.....maybe I can swap the 6spd for a Vendors OD ? I want a bench seat in that old "chop top " Chev (she is really a sled). 3/5 drop, with 1 1/2" of body drop, the old truck handled pretty good to start with. Mario, I really havent poked the pipes too close to the floor, but dont think it will be too much problem......just be carefull about getting a set of Flowmasters too close to what might burn(those boogers run HOT!) L Oops, the Moog bushings are urathane....that is the route I went, with new straps (dealer item, thanks TX firefighter).....good stuff man
