I am looking to add the UMI lift bars. Can I use them with the no-hops for the uppers?
Also from ride height how much shock travel do you have before they bottom out when lifting the car off the ground. I am concerned that some of my traction problems are not enough axle travel

Does anyone run these together???? I have gotten great information from UMI but would like to know if anyone has tried these together and what the effect is. Or can anyone tell me what the optimum moment center should be? I can calculate out the effect from there.

I was curious about this also,if they could be run together. Would the instant center go too far ahead of optimum?

Don't do this, this will not work well with your chassis and you will wreck tires in the process.
Keep your imagineary I/C point in front of you, and above the spindle C/L yet below your C/G, this will aid in launching your hotrod, plant the rear tires and seperate the body and off you go.
I just took off my no-hop bars, and installed the Lakewood Traction Action bars and I will find out this weekend in Norwalk, Oh. on how they work.

We do not recommend them to be used with the no hop bars. We have gotten much better results from the lift bars then we have from the no ho bars.
Here is a link to our lift bar set-up- www.umiperformance.com/4022
If you have any questions please ask. Thank you!
