Hey people! been awhile since i have been on. Starting to work on the 82' again and i wanna do a 9" swap. I have an axle already and all the brackets to weld on. I just need the mount for the torque arm mount. Does anyone know where i can pick up a mount kit or do i have to buy a third member? Any help is greatly apprecitated. Thanks

 

You could fab one up or I think strange engineering sells them.

 

i priced one about 8 yrs ago from currie $150. i just used ladder bars instead.

 

wear did you get the rest of your brackets?

 

Currie still sells the mount bracket. All the other brackets for the springs, shocks, panhard etc are removed from a third gen 9 or 10 bolt and welded onto the 9". Measure 3-4 times before welding.

 

I removed all my brackets off a spare 10 bolt I had laying around. You really just have to grind the welds down and give thema smack witha hammer.

 

TRYING TO ELEMINATE MY TORQUE ARM AS WELL HOW DOES THE LADDER BAR SET UP WORK

 

My first 9", I went with ladder bars as a simple way to eliminate the torque arm. Third gens have a very low body in relation to the axle. The generic ladder bars I used had to pass through the floor. I had to cut and section the floor. My car was a track only car so I wasn't concerned about how ladder bars work on the street.

 

I'm doing a triangulated 4 bar in my '82....just don't ask what happens to the back seat....it's gone!!!!
