Hows the mini ladder bar drive? cause my build looks literally exactly like yours. Machine shop even made the grooves in the sleeves too. Cause the only thing I'm worried about is the ladder bars handling like garbage and not being very street friendly.

on the launch the rear use to squat now instead it anti squats(i think it hooks better and i even went to 4.10 from 3.73). I dont fly around turns so i cant say how much of a difference it makes in this area.
