Scott, Zeke, Rick,
Good postings and direction. Would you complete the discussion by providing guidance of when you need to use the stiffener kits?
Scott, it would seem that your indication would be for the increased weight the V8 will apply to the longitudinals and the effect of the increased weight will play on the trailing arms. I have read several post on this subject, but they seem to begin with the decision to place the stiffners and now why.
What symptoms occur to inticate the need for stiffners?
Is there a condition of the longitudinals which would suggest the use of stiffners?
What test can be done to determine the need( 300# friend sitting in the driver seat with the door open and then cannot close the door)?
IF you place a jack on the longitudinals and can lift both front and rear wheels, do you need a stiffner?
Do you always need both stiffners(trailing arm and body)?
What if you have a roll cage in place?
What if the roll cage does not tie into the rear trailing arim mount?
Thanks,
L. McChesney
