Thanks Paul....I'll check with Jed.

Traction bars would go along with tow tabs I would think. They would probably have come first just to control wheel hop.

You're right Sam. I'm not crazy about how they look, hanging down as much as they do. But it's certainly a possibility.

Bill...I would suggest trying the &quot;Harrell Style&quot; spring clamps...basically 2 pieces of flat steel stock that fits over the springs to stop wheel hop. Sully has a set on his car...they work pretty good...others here will most likely have pics and info. Simple..cheap..and they don't hang down [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

&quot;Harrel Style&quot; clamps good for street tires.

A necessary evil Bill if you wanted to go fast and try to eliminate wheel hop in the old days. I never had one bottom out on me since I started using them in 1969. Kinda rounds that Day-2 look off also. Your nova would even look meaner than it does.
