I was going to go SPC like everyone else but I do some drag racing and like to have a bumpstop and a beefy arm for wheels up launches. Let me know what you think of this combo. I am also looking for the best aftermarket non-drop short spindle to replace my stockers with since mine have damage where the bearings ride.

Global West Drag upper arms TLC-42
Global West G Plus lower arms CTA-42L
Detroit Speed splined sway bar
Strange Dual adjust shocks
Santhuff coil springs
Grand Cherokee Steering Box
GM Short spindles
C6 Z51 brakes

Not familiar with the Santhuff springs, but everyting else looks good to me as long as you make that sway bar a pin on end link of some sort you can disconnect for the drag strip.

We can help you out with the Global West and DSE stuff

I ordered DSE arms, spindles, splined bar and 650# springs today. I will post pics of the install in a few weeks. Hopefully my 66 will be sitting on 4 wheels again soon. I can't bear another summer with no hot rod :cheers:

What is the difference between the Drag Global West arms and the street version?

The Drag arms have aluminum cross-shafts and no sway bar mounts to save weight. I spoke to GW and they said they do not reccomend the Drag Arms for street use.
