wondering if anyone has made these for their obs trucks and how they like them as far as ride quality,
also is this something mostly for a track vehicle? i dont plan on running my obs at the track but if it helps hook up in the street aswell ill be making a set.

found this very instructional how to.. http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com/Traction.html

any imput is apreciated.

On other forums guy run them on the streets. In plan to do some like this soon. A cheaper way is to bolt your leaf springs together.

Lol, why though?

Just clamp the overload leaf to the spring pack if you have axle wrap on those blazing 15 second 1/4 mile runs. Cheaper and doesn't scream poser.

Depend on the tq your motor up out. I clamped my spring at first and the put was bent springs. This that the load off the spring and really help 1/8 mile times
