Oh my!
Those are fantastic!
Who said I didn't need a rear anti-sway bar?
 
Just go to heavier bar on the front and put some poly bushing in the back.
 
OH My!!! That is an absolutely FABULOUS photo spread!!

Do as Trev suggests, Barry... With a rear bar the back end will just start squirtin' out from under sooner. And it'll ride like a buckboard wagon, too.
 
Winners Circle has 3/4 and 7/8.
But how do I keep my back end down?
Fatter tires would be the obvious solution. Need minilites.
 
Fantastic Shots! Great Camera Work! Must also have a very expensive digital camera. Look at the frames per second shots on the turns!

Best solution is more traction (tires/wheels). A bigger front bar does help, too. If ya just GOTTA do something at th' back, look into a Watts link or a Panhard arrangement. Hap had some nifty pix of a Spridget Watts arrangement a while back.
 
Those pictures are deceiving that turn was banked pretty hard and you were already throwing weight to the front to the car under some hard breaking.
 
I wondering if something is not right with your rear springs?
 
You got me thinking.
The leaf springs are only 2 years old, with new bushings, U-bolts and brackets. Dampers are topped up and good, no leaks. Rebound straps are good. Bump stops... Bump stop?
Missing the bump stop on the drivers side. Passenger side one must be about 4 or 5 inches tall.
That'll do it!

do like me "why yes, I will supersize that ..." :lol:
 
know we just have to wait for the post: "How do I get this bumpstop installed?"

...they're a real treat. :wink:
 
After you have one in hand and give it a go you can ask questions. I've only installed two. One popped right on and the other fought me for hours.

Do you have a front sway bar?
 
He does Tony, but the lack of driver's side bumpstop was allowing his spring to over compress.

I think I'd go for a 3/4" front anti-roll bar, but not too hard of link bushings.
