Thread: Should I change rear suspension,65 chevy truck street/strip

Tweet

Would like some Ideas on this.From what I read the stock "nascar" suspension would work fine (street/strip).385 horses,400fpt ,and a 200 shot of nitrous when needed.

Yes stock trailing arms will work fine. Think you might like heavy duty springs for better launches, LMC has them.

Just got frame back from alignment shop,and it's perfect. So, now its time to set frame up for drag racing,and some street use.I found some trailing arm reinforcements, and wanted to take off the stock panhard bar,and install a wishbone locator to keep the rear end straight in line.I also found some reinforcements for the frame which I am going to do,to keep twisting down, Also a anti roll bar for the rear.Truck is lowered 5 in the front,a 6 in back.Oh ya almost forgot the front end is going to be fiberglass.Everything from cab foward is going to be fiberglass,except for bumbper.Is there anything I am missing(besides safety equipment) for the frame set-up? street strip.
