What rear suspension for bracket racing.

Have any of you ever seen a 8 3/4 housing that has Twisted? Where does it twist? Right at the ends at the spring mounts. A pinion snubber prevents this because it holds the pumpkin down instead of letting it fly up and twist the housing.

If you've been running super stock Springs without a snubber and you have never Twisted an axle housing I would suggest you get more horsepower. Because that's the way it works out. Lol

Not only that, but if you're runnin enough HP to twist the housing, you BETTER reinforce the floor above the snubber. I had a friend who had a really strong 73 Challenger with a 440 roller motor years ago. He used SS springs but they took 1/4" plate and angle and made a pinion snubber cross member. They did that after he beat the snot out of the floor pan above it. I think they got that car down into the mid 9s before they sold it.
