Rear Anti-Roll Bar Setups

I'm looking for some pics of ARB setups on trailing arm suspensions. I'm running low 11's with 1.5x 60ft's and my launch is pretty twisted even with a 10 point 'cage. Looking at installing an ARB to level my launch. Any particular brands to look at? Thanks.

Re: Rear Anti-Roll Bar Setups

When I had factory truck arms, I made one with:


1 3/4" DOM tubing for the bar
1 3/4" sway bar bushings for an RV
3/16" plate steel as the leverage arms
1/2" rod ends with 3/4" tubing for the links to the frame


It made a huge difference and was cheap.

Re: Rear Anti-Roll Bar Setups

I did a through-frame tube crossmember that houses a splined torsion bar for the rear roll/sway bar on my truck. I used some leftover sprint car torsion bar parts since I don't plan to drag race my truck very often. For a drag race truck, I would mount the torsion bar closer to the rearend housing, go with a larger diameter bar, and shorter arms.
