Re: Help with ladder bar adjustments
When I had my Firebird backhalfed, they installed a ladder bar/coil over setup. This is how I was told to set it up. Take something that weights the same as the driver..( me) and put it in the drivers seat... Then take the bolt out of the front left side ladder bar and adjust it so the bolt slips through with no resistance. Then go to the passenger side remove the front bolt and adjust the bar so the hole in the bar is about 3/4 the diameter of the hole higher than the hole in the mount. Pull the bar down and install bolt.. Sounded to easy ... but it worked the car would leave straight and hard. He told me that was a base line for setting it up , but I never changed it.

Re: Help with ladder bar adjustments
Mike, Glad that you have had such good luck with your ladder bars. Some settings are just "trouble free"
Good Luck. |

The car showed the same wheel weights and left the same either way but it is only a mid 1.40 60' car.
