"Tuff man bars" and anti-roll pics

[bigsnookmaster]

Here's a couple pics of my front mount coil-over setup, but no anti roll. I.m curious about the anti roll setup and how it works.

It preloads the suspension so that the distance from the frame to the rear end stay the same or near the same at all the time. It helps with side to side body roll during hard launches so you don't get that car/truck picking up the left front tire 2 +/- foot with the right front still on the ground.

That's exactly correct. If you were running a narrowed frame/rearend housing application, this is what I was going to recommend since this is in the racing forum. I run this Jerry Bickel unit in my Super Gas car. It is a bit bulky and requires some vertical space between the frame rails and the reared housing, but it is infinitely adjustable.

How wide is it? Maybe try and build a shock mount from the frame rail to the
anti-roll on each side. etc.... make a extension from the frame to the ani-roll to make a shock mount

IIRC, the tubing for the torsion bar housing comes in a 40" length to provide enough length for most applications. But, for a stock frame application, I couldn't see around using a through-frame tube for the torsion bar housing since there isn't enough frame kick up. I ended up also leveraging it as a replacement crossmember. For an upper shock mount, you will have to use a littler thicker wall tubing, but can be done. TCI (Total Cost Involved) now offers their '28-'31 Ford chassis with this type of through-frame torsion bar set up.

This one is very close to what I'm running. I did get it to fit under the stock bed floor, though. I believe the links on mine are a little shorter than the ones in this pic.

Oops. Quoted the wrong reply. This is the pic I was referring to.
