Stay away from ladder bars - the only way they ever approach working well is in a back-half situation, and a 4-link is still the way to go there. No car out there has a factory suspension design worse than a ladder bar setup, so don't go backwards! Fortunately, there probably isn't enough room under an f-body to get them in there anyways. There are guys running in the 9's (and maybe faster?) with a TA setup, so it's obviously not holding you back. Just replace the factory components(TA, PHB, LCA's, springs/shocks) with the right components and you'll be much happier.

Well I have a 9" with no TQ mount on it. I was lookin into the option of the bars instead of the traction bar type LCA's
