    Thanks John. I'll keep you in mind.

    In regards do they work.... i'd say so. First time at the track last Sat. i ran a 9.16 and last night i ran a 8.81 Going back this weekend to see what i can do, i know it can do better. I've got to get used to launching with these bars, its alot different than what i've been doing for the last 4 1/2 years

    Im thinking that floor must have been a little on the warm side unless you have an air conditioned garage, she must have been pretty tired.

    Hard to tell from the pictures. It may be less than 1/2" difference. As I recall, we tried to rotate the rear mount to see if it helped and were not able to change it. If you want to try again this weekend, I am OK with it.

    You used a pic of mine earlier so here's another one if it helps.
    This is one of the few "side on shots I have of mine."
    You can see where the bracket placement is but the big difference is that I only have a 2" drop on the rear so my bars are parallel to the ground.
    I have had zero issues with scraping the ground.



    A couple more if it helps





    This shot probably gives you the best view of the stance on my truck.
    It's no lowrider but not exactly a 4x4 either. You might want to consider raising yours back up a bit if you intend to keep with the LFP bars.

    Let me know. As long as i can use the new brackets with the LFP 58" bars. I'm really not looking to buy an all new setup.

    Blackhawk, when i come back to check the bolts any chance we could possibly install a LFP idler pulley. Its only a bracket, a pulley, and a new belt.
