Default Wheelie bar pics and mounting info needed!

Guys with wheelie bars, can you post up a pic or two and specifics on your bars where they mount to the axle tube? Please note what brand you are using and what you had to do to fit them regarding the swaybar, panhard bar, and clearancing of the t-top well. I've heard quite different stories from folks.

Your help will be appreciated. Thanks and take care. Dave

Dave,

What on Earth do you need wheelie bars for? I just purchased a KTRE rear with brackets for wheelie bars on it. I was thinking to cut them off to save weight!

Take Care,

Daren

Dave you will have to trim the t-top well. Also the passenger side bars needs to be removed if you let the rearend hang.

I was online looking for directions for wheelie bar install on my 4th gen firebird
In these pictures the brackets that you have on the rear of the housing - did you
have to make them or are they available?
thanks
mark
