LCA Lowering Brackets for transverse wheel hop control and Swarr-bar for lateral wheel hop. A Swarr also may grip and hold the differential tubes from twisting. These are White-line LCB on BMR LCA's. The Swarr-bar will tie into the inside of both LCB and bolt to the bottom of the pumpkin. It's in the trunk till I get back.

Yeah you saw that, I just had the FR rear cover put on and it was still fresh. I'll keep it under observation. When I get the Swarr-bar on I'll have it checked again.
I also have a Shaftmaster aluminum 4" driveshaft with steel braided clutch lines. The diff shafts will be Alloy the clutch and flywheel Spec
stage one (still need to be able to parallel park it). The conventional wisdom is duel clutches, I'll have to discuss that a little more with my shop. I want a DD bomb proof driveline not a trailerable drag queen.
Still open to suggestions on the posi - the Track-Loc must go for a Yukon or Detroit? T2 is for track, don't do that because I can't stand to wreak a new un-paid-off car.

I will be installing 4.10 gears this week. My car hooks really good now, but I'm afraid I will spin really bad when I get my gears. I don't want to lower my car, because I live on a dirt road and bottom out at times. Right now I'm running 285/40/18s on the back.
So my question is this, do I need to upgrade my rear suspension to help keep the rear tires planted? Since I'm not lowering I assume I can use a non-adjustable LCA. Are LCAs stand alone? Or do I need to do the uppers as well. Oh yeah, and what about spherical bushings?
Thanks in advance.

LCAs are standalone. These work really well for the street. I don't recommend sphericals unless you're making regular trips to the drag strip. Fwiw, I'm running these exact LCAs on my own car:

Thanks for the info. I picked up a set of BBKs, should be here tomorrow. Too bad, I would have considered ordering from you since you are on here. Next time though. If she doesn't grip I ill be looking for more. Never done much suspension work, and the LcB and Swarr is Greek to me.
