It says general error. There's nothing there.

Are they the square tube, with the sway bar bracket welded to the bottom? If so, theyre not bad, but you HAVE to reinforce the torque boxes and the bolt holes. They WILL tear em up.

link didn't work.


but i had the lakewoord traction action lift bars and loved them. i installed the lakewoods and bbk uppers and went from spinning through third to spinning some in second with street tires if i had some good tires i bet it could have hooked a lot better

pro is right and it helps to preload the rear suspension by improving the pinnion angle. by the way dime, i just tore up the second set of reinforcements, so instead of puting another set in i put flat bar in between the upper torque pan and the frame rail on both sides and welded them solid so it would tie in the upper torque pan to something more solid than the floor pan. i also sturdied my cage up by going all the way through the floor to the subframe connectors and welding directly to them rather than the floor pan. but then again im launching the hell out of my car.
