LOL!!!!!!!!! ...I thought that was a good one. ehehehhehehehee
I had good results with nothing more than HPM Megabite Jr lowers and solid uppers. Mid 1.5x 60ft. times on slicks, along with 11.70's... on my old combo.
Now I run the whole TRZ rear suspension setup and get some mid to low 1.4's ..even though I should be seeing high 1.3's, but I need some new slicks (M/T's)
No personal experience with SSM lift bars, but I've read plenty of horror stories, and some good, but very few good stories...
Oh, WELD THE TORQUE BOXES (upper arm mounts as well) ...along with installing some 'battle boxes' if you plan on launching with slicks anytime soon.
About the '5 Star' ...are you guys talking about
Factory 5 upper/lowers? Or is this 5 Star a new company?
