Default Tq arm relocation and being "stock suspension"

Was just thinking about this last night. If you run a tunnel mount torque arm are you not allowed in the stock suspension classes for racing since you changed the location I looked at some rule and they said mount in stock location.

Just wanted to hear from some people who run these classes it's not like your running a 4 link but it's a different mounting point.

I have never had any customers run into issues with this. Even though the torque arm is relocated, it is still a torque arm suspension with LCAs.

My suspension has been deemed legal...

Mid length torque arm, shocks relocated to the rear of the axle housing, removed Panhard bar in favor of a wishbone

Still a torque arm, lower control arm mount on the chassis has been reinforced but still stock location

Guess that you can do more than just the torque arm relocation and me good.

Based on 8th mile time in sig I am guess in you run 8th mile class what class is it if you don't mind?

I even moved the control arms inward, built lca brackets with more adjustability than a 4 link bracket, and was told for stock suspension it's legal. Wishbone, madman tq arm, shocks off the back of the rear end and my tq arm is not even attached to the floor boards, it's part of the 25.3 structure
