If you hook well enough you could break your rearend depending on prior wear and miles. I don't see you twisting the chassis unless you bring those front 2 wheels off of the ground and then slam it back down during the run.

wether itll twist enough to break the rear end or not it still puts torque stress on the body. I put SF's on my 99Z28 at 63K on the clock and what a difference, I wish I did them alot sooner. my t tops sealed alot better, no more wind noise and it cut down rattleing noises. I FULLY RECCOMEND THEM!! they are a great help regardless of other mods.

I have the Kenny Brown SFC's and love them. I put a STB on at the same time. No rattles over rough roads and potholes. I think they will help keep the T-tops from leaking over time too. Buy them! you won't regret it.
