Most of the major chassis shop's such as Strange, Moser, Mark Williams make a complete bolt in 12 bolt g body car.

Post a little more info on the 12 bolt install.
The upper ears on the 12 bolt are way lower then the ears on the 7.5" I had. With the stock upper control arms the one on the right seemed to fit alot better then the one on the left. do you think putting in adjustable upper control arms will be enough or do i have to get the ears on the 12 bolt raised. or do you know of any kit to raise the upper ears ?

Thanks for your help,

When you raise the rear up on those cars for tire clearance, the projected instant center goes out of this world.
Do a search for no hops bars. Several companies offer them. Get the proper upper control arms. I'll have to assume that you've got the wrong lower ones,too.
Don't forget some good shocks and air lift bags.
That'll stop the bouncing.

Thanks for the info Mark, I have ordered these lower arm relocation mounts ive heard good things from these. as you do not need to have the adjustable lowers

And also wouldnt a good set of cargo coils do the same job as a set of drag bags ?

Thanks,

Craig

CJohnson, looking at picture of your car, you want the body to lift in rear away from the rear tire when you leave the starting line, no hop bars change the control arms angle to make rear lift and plant the tires, also no adjustable lower control arms in stock. Tom

Thanks Tom, do you know if you are allowed the adjustable mounts for the lower control arms in stock ?

I finally took a look at those no hop bars, and i understand how they work now.
