Default Re: Chevelle ladder bars

Keith is correct.....ladder bars are horrible for the suspension and like I said before, they ride like crap. Go to the track and see if there is one A-body that's fast running ladder bars.....my guess is you won't.

If you want the look and don't care about the ride, install them. They are the perfect Day Two add on. If you want something to be functional, install good shocks as they will eliminate wheel hop with street tires.

As far as No-Hop bars, I know Jerry Frailey used them back in the day with his Chevelle......no ladder bars for him.
