Wheelie bars? what to use?

I'm changing to a 4-link with coil-overs and that's an entirely different system. I'll be running a CM solid wheelie bar. I tried the solid wheelie bars on my car and it just wouldn't work. There's too much "play" in a leaf-sprung rear suspension for a solid bar to work and no matter how much I pre-loaded one side, the car would launch severely out of shape.
The AJE bars are as simple as they come and I think only 11 pounds complete. There's a clevis mount welded to the rear-end axle tubes for the front mount and a pair of "stands" that I had mounted to the factory frame rails (heim ends). I've never come up with a good way to explain how these bars work. The best is "think teeter-totter". As soon as I put these AJE bars on, the car tracked true and went quicker.
There's a picture of them mounted on my car in the member ride section or just email me for pictures. I had them sold to a guy but it took me forever to find a good box that was big enough. Now I have a good box.

Here's the link to AJE. Mine are the 42" bars and are $329 new.
