Got my bucket all apart to put the roll bar in and keep looking at the rear of it and how i could possibly shorten the distance between rear axle and body. looks like i could shorten it by about 16 inches and bring the rear tires right up aganst the rear body.
I have right now a set of rear springs from a nova and they handle amazingly well, ride pretty good and launch well at the track with a set of slapper bars.
One idea would be to set the springs inboard the frame and run a 36 inch custom leaf. worried about ability to get any kind of launch out of a short spring.
I know a guy who actually ran 24 inch trailer style springs in his bucket with not much trouble.
other idea would be to run a stubby 4 link with about 12 inch long rods . susp travel would be limited but so what its a t bucket.
how short could the tubes be before its totally useless
i have looked at a ladder bar syst which would actually work pretty good but have been told great for straight ahead but no good in the turns.
