B&B perfromance at one time market a longer ball joint for use in the upper a arms of GM cars which allowed for more upward travel in the front suspension.
This was very helpful if you were using a leaf spring slapper bar type rear suspension because when this rear suspension worked correctly it tended to lift the rear of the car some what.
So to keep the weight from transferring forward we would build in a lot of front end travel using the extended ball joints modified A arm bushings, tall but weaker Moroso "Trick Springs" and a fairly tall front tire.
