Default What do you guys think about lakewood suspension?

I am getting a fresh 10 bolt with fresh 4.10s in it along with these:

is lakewood a good reliable brand? Any feedback would be great.

I have lakewood control arms and adjustable panhard bar on my formula. I love them. Instant improvement in ride quality and no more wheelhop at the track. They're a great price too. Got both for $200 through Jeg's.

If you do a search, you'll find that most drag guys don't care much for the 'traction lift bars' (the 1st link you posted).

The traction action lift bars suck......they break.

The regular LCAs Lakewood makes are fine. I have had a set on my car for years. They need painted again but they will last forever and work very well.

I am switching to adjustables soon so I can run 28 inch tires.

Well I got the traction action bars for free so I think I'm going to use them. Can I do Relocation brackets, LCA's AND traction bars?

I heard relocation brackets do a great job of elminating wheel hop. I want my 10 bolt to last as long as it can. I don't run at the track, mostly street use.

I also got a torque arm with the deal!

Any suggestions

relocation brackets do work nicely, i have them on my thirdgen.

I had the lakewood regular lca's on my older thirdgen and they worked nicely and well worth the 90 bucks.

other 10 bolt beef-up mods are the srtonger diff cover, and welding the axle tubes.
