And, this should be enough room for true duals.

Steve, I've got some limiters on mine that are adjustable from top, just open the hood. I have pictures, but the thing is, I can't figure out how to put the pictures in posts here. Can somebody tell me how? John said to "go into advanced", but I don't see any "advanced" here to select.

Thanks, Ed

On the quick reply, click the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom.

The tubing is 5/8" and the rod through the center is 1/2", about 4" long. the 1/4" adjuster holes for the push-pull pins are 1/2" apart. There are four holes for adjustment, that is about all the room there is before the adjuster hits the bottom of the hood when pulled all the way up. These pics are from a friend's NHRA Super Stock '97 Camaro built by MPR (Mike Pestelney) Race Cars. Mine are just copies of this.

Hope this worked. <G>

When you are replying to a thread, there are some buttons below this reply box. On says "Go Advanced" and if you press that, you can attach pictures to a thread. Let me know if it works.

Found the button, filled in the blanks, but no pictures. Guess I'm too old for this stuff. It's after nine, I'm going to bed. <G>

It took me a while to learn how too. No one ever tells ya you have to save the pics somewhere else on the internet and then add the link. Go to photobucket.com and save your pictures there, its free. Then when you post here you just fill in the url for the picture you saved on photobucket.com and it will show the pic in your post. Hope that helps.

Ed, you should be able to get some info on this thread
https://ls1tech.com/forums/signature-testing-design/356036-signature-faq.html
its relating to signature posting, but the same principal applies with having img tags, and hosting.
PM me if you need some help.

That looks slick. Mine have a plate that will bolt into the top bracket to allow adjustment.

If ya don't know, ya don't need them.

Seriously, it is to give you more control over wheel stands. If you limit the amount the front wheels can drop when the front end comes up, you kill some of the upward momentum, and lower the wheel stands. You can control it by slowing the front shock extension rates up to a point. Mine went past that point when the air improved this fall. I had to make up a set of limiters like in the pictures Jeff posted for me. A 1/2" adjustment makes a pretty big difference.

Thanks!! I didn't know about that "putting them on the internet" part. Guess I can put stuff like that on my web site, or rather get Ken to do it. Don't know how to do that either.
If it doesn't have wheels or boobies, I don't know much about it. Heck, if it has boobies, I don't know anything about it. Some people will tell you if it has wheels, I still don't know much about it.
Sounds like I just don't know much.
