ok, i had bought and installed SSM lower Boxed arms a while back. (about a year)
I was wanting to know if i should switch to the
"Lift Bars"?
I'm running a 1969 chevelle stock rear.
I have the SSM upper and lower box arms in now.
I had put new springs in, Hotohkis i think, front and rear and all new front susp. poly.
I have air bags in rear springs.

the motor is going to be a 500hp / 500ft-lbs 383.
what do you think would be good?

Unless you have problems with wheel hop, I'd leave it alone. The only reason I put in lift bars is even with boxed lowers (stock AND hotchkiss) I had massive wheel hop with my 4 speed.

I wouldn't change until you need too. (and if you're lucky, you might never need to......) smile.gif
