By "lift bars" I assume you are talking the old style "slapper" bars?

Definitely more for leaf spring cars and boy are they ugly! :what:

A simple proven first step is boxed control arms (whether DYI or something like the kits available ... I think HRParts sells a complete kit with bushings and all). This in conjunction with either adjustable uppers or an air bag (to control squat) and sticky tires ought to start squeezing decent 60 foot times.

Mine, for example, has gone 1.51 with home welded boxed control arms, energy suspension bushings, and a pair of cheap air bags (and M/T slicks). I'm thinking of upgrading it to "new tech" and hopefully improve that bit with my new motor combo. (Another thing on the long "THings to DO" list!)
