did you pick ladder over a 4 link for a reason? no im not going to do it by myself, im looking into a few shops. im a decent welder and a perfectionist, i just dont have any of the equipment. did you hit any snags on the install as far as mounting points, limited space or removal of the original bracketry? what was the width on the axle rotor to rotor? and about how much did the conversion cost? do you have any pics of the install? sorry for all the Q's just want to do it right the first time. thanks

I did the car myself. Ladder bar so I didn't loose the back seats. The width will depend on your offset and tire planned combo. This is not something that was easily done. All original brackets were cutoff. This is a drag car now I ended up loosing the back seats anyways for my cage to be certified to 8.50. width also depends on what rotors your using. Mine is 53 from rotor to rotor. The gas tank does not work so I had to use a cell.
