      A good baseline is a pull bar.
      But that is just my option.
      Good luck with the lift arm.
      I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

        Lift arm will work. Don't let anyone talk you out of it. One of the fastest modifieds in the country is running one.

            They are not radical if set up correctly. You have to run more left rear and a heavier rr spring. You also need to lower the jbar on the pinion and the frame. They are very successful but most just try to run their pullbar setups and not adjust accordingly.

              OK so Radical was not the right word . Tricky maybe LOL. The Bite in the LR to balance is Radical.

                I agree 1Blacksheep. I have ran it with success. The left rear needs a lot of bite and a stiffer rr spring to get the sidebite out of it.
