Mini Ladder Bar set up??
I did it. The car launched like an old Mopar! The car would try to bite hard but it would bounce. Absolutely the WRONG SET UP for these cars!
It ruins a perfectly good double duty car, normal driving is altered. Cornering makes me feel like I am driving an old Mustang it sucks! I did it to make my 8.8 install easier and inexpensive and all I got in the end was a nice set of upper arms to sit on my shelf of experience.
Granted not everyone will agree with my post but this mod changes the entire geometry of the f- body and ruins the overall handling of a near perfect car! Back to the drawing board for me its TQ arm time again!

The problem I see with what you are wanting to do is, the upper control arm eyes have to be cut off or you will hit the fuel tank. Now if you remove the tank you may have enough room to have an upper arm mount and proper travel.
I have the ears cut off and have brackets for the upper bars that mount them a little lower, but hitting the tank worries me a little, but only time will tell.
Dang well after some of this stuff I believe ill try to get the trq arm put in... Didnt figure it would be that much!! Some of the other forums said that the only thing they seen wrong with it is the wheelie's it causes....

I have the ladder bar setup and it doesnt drive bad at all. It might not handle the best but I dont expect it to. It anti-squats really bad but I think some decent rear shocks could control it somewhat. Its not terrible like some think and is pretty cheap and a lot easier than a torque arm mount. If I were you I would try it and if you dont like it you can switch to a torque arm later.

From what I have seen of most mini ladder bar setups they don't appear to have been setup with a ton of thought or understanding so it makes sense that people are having tons of issues with them.
There is Alot more that goes into getting the car to hang the front hoops then ladder bars.
How about adding these along with a Tq arm?
Seems it would limit the anti squat and also works like Pete z bars that hooked really well.
I'm gonna try it with some calvert racing 9 way adj shocks to control seperation
