Floaters/Ladder Bars on A body
Yes, I have steel Mono leafs, they are Cal Tracs...
My goal is to NOT go to Coil over Ladder bars or 4 link, as I want to put it back on the street some day.
I realize I can leave the old leaf spring hangers,but I want it clean.It is also about $800.00 for complete coil over/ladder bar/track locater. I realize I could sell all my Cal Trac stuff to return maybe 1/2 that cost.
But it requires alot more welding and fabricating. My springs are already inboard and mini tubbed.I am tired of working and spending money on this project. I just want to race and be competative again.
I am happy with my 11.5 wide tires (13.5" wide) Hoosiers.
The issue is the short length of the Cal Tracs 20" instant center which seems to be the issue with them launching on a transbrake.
Floaters and ladder bars require less work, and are under $400.00, and I can sell the Cal Trac bars alone to recover some of that.
But the main goal is to make this thing have consistant 60's.I also want to run S/St which is a 5/10ths Pro tree as you know.I should have left the S/S springs in it for now, it worked much better.
My Duster had ladder bars, and it worked awesome.
Lastly to those that say floaters or S/S springs are old technology, so are ladder bars, lift bars and and 4 links.Even Cal Tracs are a form of slapper bars, which have been around forever.
Thanks guys for all the great input.
