Make sure you dont add to much tubing behind the shock mounts . all that is needed is enough to hold the box up
plus if its around 1000 horse youll still want a bit of flex in the chassis

I want to make a spot to add weight boxes if I needed to. Where would you recommend I put those?

Based on weight and whp, you should trap around 155mph. Based on tire size and 3.27 gear, you should trap around 6400rpm. Are you building motor to rpm that low? I like rpm (>7500), so gearing would be around 3.90 (7500) to 4.10 (8000). If plant to increase hp in near future, I would lean towards lower ratio due to increased mph.

I appreciate your advice and it's something I will consider once I get some runs in this spring.

Thanks, I did a second pass after just for extra piece of mind. I'm still pretty new to tig welding, but I enjoy it.
Well I have some 4 link housing brackets I got from my father for mockup and they're open. So I figured that was standard. I've found a couple companies that make them in that style with shock mounts, so I'm going to go that route.

Have you plotted out your 4 Link instant Center yet?
if you're putting bias-ply tires on make sure that the instant Center is below the anti squat line
if putting drag radials on make sure it is above
also while the jig is in it weld some ballast tabs to the tubes
