Now that you mention it, there's not quite a few 'stock' fbodies floating around that lift the wheels like that.

Nothing unique about it at all.

Sweet!

Best I got with the stocker was a N/A 10.92 @ 122 (1.49) @ 3400lbs RW

Stock torque arm works well on an automatic car.

Switched to a Random Tech, mainly because I got a good deal on a used one.

Bump stop?

If you are talking about the ones I think you are, mine are cut out and plates re-welded back in their place for bracing.

Good to know BADZ...Im sure they are others who have been pretty fast on the stock ones....Where did yours break at? The rear?

Ive got it mounted on the cross member and then bolted to the Moser 9" beefy TA mount on the rear. No washers welded around the holes are nothing right now.
