Jegster T/A & 3" True Duals - Pics Obviously the install is not yet completed, but you get the idea. I have about the same clearlance as I did with the stock T/A which is not much. It is closer at the mounting point on the rear end. If I have problems with it hitting, I'll figure something out. I still need to bolt the mounting bracket in place, and adjust the pinion angle, but I think it's going to work out all right.
Opinions?
Thought I'd thow in a pic of the new meats (old street tires vs. new) as well. Think it will hook?

All I had to do was pull the console on my LT1 car to install it. Not too bad, hell I did that back when I was new to modding cars.

We used the Jegs adjustable torque arm on my son's 99 Camaro. It is a pain to install but with some creative bending we were able to make it work with a set of 3" Lanes true duals and a Moser 9" rearend also. It required quite a bit of grinding and fabricating to get everything to fit properly but we were able to do it. One thing that anyone considering using the Jegs Torque arm should know before they buy one is that it is considerably shorter than a stock torque arm and you will need to make changes to your suspension setup to get everything working in sync. LCA relocation brackets are mandatory.

I didn't have to do a thing to make it fit my car. What does the TA have to do with LCA brackets?

It may be different with a 10 bolt but with a 9" the LCA angle changed to negative. In other words, the front mounts of the LCAs were lower than the rear mounts. This causes wheel hop and loss of traction. Relocation brackets were necessary to get the angle back positive again.
