I have Dale's setup. First off... suspension binding is bad, bad, bad! It
adds a ton of unpredictability that is contrary to the theoretical
assumptions made when the engineers designed the components in the first
place and adds even more ride harshness, with no benefit whatsoever. They
designed it as they did because it's cheaper. Dale's bar has adjustable end
links to allow slight changes to the anti-roll spring rate. The binding is
reduced in adding these adjustable end links between the ends of the roll
bar and the lower A-arm instead is fastening the bar directly to the A arm.
In doing this, you also need to extend the bar's mounting points farther out
from the crossmember than original, so Dale's kit has mounting blocks that
are welded to the x-member so everything lines up correctly.

You can kind of see this in the picture @

a break between feeding session of my newborn twins, I try to scan a couple
pictures and send later ot add to the website on my car @
