Rick, the conversion will use a cantilever setup which is much less than
ideal. You will get a lot more benefit out of a negative camber setup.
You will need more than the commercially available neg camber lower arms
to really make it work. The bigger bar is good too, but you can
accomplish the same thing by stacking two stock bars. All you need is
some aluminum stock.
