    Wow, John, you're up early on a Saturday! I currently run a dual rate in the front and the stock sway bar in the rear. I should pull the rear to se the difference.

Just be sure you don't get too far foreward of the rear axle centerline with the lower rear mounts,I don't know if the tubewall of the std. 44 will take the shift in stress, not sure how your upper truss is going to mount. This is almost like sprint cars all-over again.



    Joe could you explain what you mean by not getting the mounts too far foreword. Are you referring to keeping the mounts in a location to reduce torsion on the axle under acceleration? I have heard that I should keep the lower mount bolt at or below the bottom of the axle. My truss is the Ruffstuff d44 torsion box. It welds to the tubes just out side the diff. Just trying to understand. Thanks



    You are correct. My comment was based on your moving the current location up 1.75". I think that would put it foreword of the axle tube. I like the info you have. Our housings may be rotated more than yours because you have a longer wheelbase.

    Ive heard good things about the clayton 4 link setups.. Theres a few builds on pirate where they use the Clayton skid plate with the 4 link brackets. Apparently they build some solid stuff.



    but hey what do i know? lol :rasta:
