Just showing the ladder bars I bought off the hamb. They look cool, but theyre not doing a whole lot for reinforcement for my rearend. I'm running parallels on the back, I installed a 3" drop also which gives me minimal room for ladder bar mounting. However, they are installed, welded and bolted. It breaks up the look of the car since Im not using running boards. You can see that I have a jack stand under the car because these 14's are not only flat, but are soon getting swapped out with the Hurst wide white cheaters. As far as more reinforcement goes, the car was a drag car back in the day so the rear of the car is heavily boxed and has all kinds of mounting brackets so I will run panhards and I also have old school gold shocks installed. Btw, this is a 10 bolt posi rear end with posi and disc brakes. I havent checked the gear ratio, but they're around 3:73. I'll check them when I get back under there to install those panhards.
