I’ve got them on my 69’ Dart GT. They are really nice. Still trying to get them dialed in.
 
My question is do they really work? Leaf springs are a pretty good traction device up to a certain HP of course.
Are they like a 2 link sort of device? Never seen those before is why I am asking like a newbee.
 
When I set mine up the left side was just a bit tighter than than the right, accidentally of course. I went for a drive and got to a stop, dumped the clutch and it the shot left. Adjusted the right more and did it again, went straight and just boiled the tires. Now this is on street tires running 30 psi. Better tires and shocks would help.
 
Bluetooth ? I see blue shocks. Anyway,Bigdummy I am a fan of your Valiant. Looks so good.

Ask Lyle Cherry 275 drag radial record holder

I just googled him and he's dead- back in 2013. VW drag race driver. So asking him is out of the question.
There were picture of an Old Cutlas race car as well. Not much more. Who is Lyle Cherry and what does the 275 mean?

Lyle Cherry is (was?) a big name in John Deere collecting.

How's the ground clearance on those assassin bars? Look like they hang awful low...

Well There are more leads on the drivers side than the passenger.Thinking about buying leafs or swapping sides.It sat ok like it is but usually I run cool overs with 4link or ladder bars.
