Someone with an auto could better answer if they help with the 60 ft times.
I do know that they make the ride a little rougher - "stiffer".

        My local AutoZOne has Lakewood chrome universal traction bars for
$30.

        I been eying them, but have some questions.

        I've looked in the archives and haven't found any definent (sp?)
answers.

        My truck is a 318, 2WD, 3.55 Open Diff.

        What will the t-bar do for 60ft times, et's, etc. (real numbers from
        experience if possible)

        What components are stresses passed on to when the axle doesn't wind
up (ie.
        what am I gonna break?)

        Anyone solved the snubber location/bent spring problems listed in
the
        archives?

        Are t-bars street friendly?

        Thanks in advance!

        P.S. If anyone has these bars installed and has previously answered
these
        questions to the list, feel free to use private mail.
