    I've been reading that in 04 rocket changed the black fronts to a raised rail car. What does that mean? I'm also reading that they are raising the crossmember as an update. Is that what a raised rail car is?

      In 04, raised rail would refer to a higher right side frame rail. Raised cross members are for the soft rf setups and didn't come about until 2010 or later for pretty much all brands.

          Straight x the cross bracing runs in line with each other the offset the cross brace from the RF to the LR is offset

            If it's straight and a floating x one of the best cars out there for the limited/crate division very responsive to bar changes and once you get it dialed in like another poster said the car will almost drive itself

              We aren't running a limited class. We have to run a steel block and that's it. We are aloud anything else. I guess I should have said that more clearly

                Of everything you listed I still say the GRT is your better choice, its newer, more up to date and won't require taking it anywhere to have it updated before you can run it. The Rocket is older and not the better of the rocket front ends. GRT is also in the midst of making a new thrust back into supers so they'll be more likely to be helpful I'd think.

                  if its an 06 and its straight,it will keep up with anything out there,i liked the gray spindles(bill frye) best, shocks and the right setup are the key
