Early Valiant with XHD leaf sprAngs.

I also notice you have a rear sway bar. How does it handle? Do you feel like the height in the rear takes away any handling? I'm not building a canyon carver, but I would like it to drive better than stock. I do intend to add front and rear bars. Thanks very much for taking the time to post.
I'm lowering the rear of the car per the method I described.
I changed the suspension as a system, so it would be difficult to tell what one item made the most difference, but it handles exceptionally well for an old A Body. I'm in the process of installing the Borgeson steering box, as the "no road feel" steering detracted from my driving experience.
