Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
The stance on the truck looks perfect. This picture is with no weight on it but with it all together it should sit just right.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
My 4-link bars are 30 inches. We did it longer to help get a better ride and to limit the pinion angle when there's suspension travel. Also if I ever wanted to put air bags on it I wouldn't have to change up too much.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
What size frame rails did you use to make the frame (width, height, thickness)
Thanks

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
The truck was originally swapped on a full size frame. They did a horrible job so I picked up an original frame. That frame turned out to be slightly bent in the rear. Plus the original frames had all of the holes in it. I finally had enough and had a new one built. We used 2" x 4" square steel tubing and it's 3/16" thick.
