camaro9969 are you running any rear drag shocks? or still on stock ones. If so what kind, reason i ask is when i installed the fronts it just let me know how weak the back ones were, so i need to invest in some rears now, was thinking about viking or strange

Ya the rear DA Shocks will keep my car from coming up but i will see how much more i can get out of it with this set up. Really surprised to be honest considering what i have back there.
Just got one of your Tubular K Members on a trade so i'm taking a few pounds off the front.
