Guys with longbars please help me out.

[GtownMACH]

I want/need more traction. Sounds like longbars are the way to go. However i'm lowered way too much for them to work as i've read this many places on here. Could you guys w/ either jlp, lfp, or jdm bars post pics of where they're mounting them exactly and what the brackets look like up close. Basically, if you could, just crawl under there and snap a side shot of how they're located please. I'm a machinist and have been wanting to put together a project worthwhile, and these bars to fit my lowered L sound like a good one. Thanks in advance.

Rick had JDM longbars on that truck at one time with it lowered as is....They will fit... I would purchase a set of those since the truck has the holes already drilled in the frame for you.. That the worst part during installation...
Heres some pics of mine... Sorry not the best of pics...

thanks for the pics man! Yeah i was looking under there yesterday and noticed how it looked like some brackets had already been on there. Ha, you know more about my truck than i do! So are those JDM bars in your pics? And they look pretty low, i dont want to be hitting every speedbump i come across.

Have you changed how much the truck was lowered? If so, you will need to drill new holes.

JLP has the new revised long bars out, they're slightly shorter and allow clearance for lowered applications.

so if i had a simple 2-inch drop in the back of my L would i need the shorter jlp long bars, what about exhaust would it hit. i have the dynatech.:shrug:

 

[Lord Tauk]

I think you could use any of the Long bar setups with just 2 inches.

not sure on the dynatech, it seems the bassani has to be tweaked for someone's long bars, I dont think it was JLPs past or present.

thanks for the info, hey do you normally have to drill for those or do they come set up to bolt in useing holes already there.

You have to drill your own holes.

Look up the bars that JJ @ Woodbine motorsports is offering. They just might be what you're looking for.

your truck is pre-drilled for the JDM/LFP 58" Bars

IIRC, the bottom two holes may already be there, but there is drilling involved, all four holes are not there. I do remember having to use a 90* drill for the install. Mine were LFP.

I have his old truck. He had bars on it. Thats why hes saying the holes are already there.

AustinSVT: check your pm's. I sent you somethiong about how to get the iopd adapter to play. Can't figure it out. And also, i think its lower in front and back from when you had it. The iso's are out and the back shackles are set lower. Like i read above, will i have to drill new holes?
