Are you going with ladder bars, 4 link, or staying with a Torque Arm setup?

4-link setup. It looks killer Phil, you should snap some photo's of the inside... It looks scary.

How much are you spending on this set up?

shady93z
05-03-2006, 08:32 PM
i am doing all the work myself so it is saving me tons of money. so far in the back half kit and rear end and just tubing, i have around $4500 in it, and then another $1600 for rims and tires. now i have to start on the sheet metal work (not looking forward to that).
