Question ECE Supertrac Bar Question

has anyone mounted the axle bracket of the supertrac kit between the torsion bar and the axle shock mount INSTEAD of between the axle and torsion bar? seems I like I'd get a bit more travel with the bracket lower. looks like I'd only have to trim a 1/4" off the bracket.

just wondering...

Re: ECE Supertrac Bar Question

Doug we installed it per ECE's instructions, so sorry I don't have any pertinent information for you. My best suggestion would be to call Stan/Mark and see what kind of information they might be able to provide.

Sorry I can't be more help...

You prob could do that but then the PHB would be farther away from parallel @ ride height which is where you want it.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: ECE Supertrac Bar Question

The further from paralell it gets the more side-to-side travel you will have with the rear end.
