I've a 66 Malibu,396,700R4. Posi to follow soon. I picked up a set of ladder bars for cheap, but I've been told not to use them. Stick with boxing the control arms, this comes from someone who does a lot of 1/4 miles. I intend on street use mostly. I bought them cause they'd look cool under there. Any opinions please. thanks Jerry

Had them off and on my own car about 3 times (over the course of many years) til I found those anti-hop bars that mount at the upper bushing location.

Ladder bars simply made the suspension way too stiff.

Thanks Bigdog, I guess I'll have to try em out and see how they feel.

they look cool but the ride is bad and they are heavy
