just wrap some Duct Tape around it, it'll be fine.


Seriously though. Check a few sites like airbagsource.com or sucidedoors.com

Thanks everyone! By the way yellow22, i have been trying all sorts of things to throw sparks and i was wondering how you have yours set up? We welded hitch balls on the back but that lasted a couple of hours of play before they got knocked off. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You'll need to fab up some drag blocks. I think his are on the front of the car, on the sub frame.

I am not sure where you could mount on the rear, keep them hidden, and keep them from destroying anything.

me and my buddy are working on fabbing up some drag blocks. I am just not sure exactly were to mount them. My new bags will be here wed or thurs so i hope to have the drag blocks on by then. My front right bag busted, then my head gasket blew the next day. I fixed the head gasket and know i am going to drag my friend over with his welder and see what we can do bout the blocks tonight.

I have never compared them side by side but the strut bolt's right. Soo i guess that they are the same? I will be taking mine out tomorow to put the new bags on so i will try to take some pics for ya!

i would imagine they are close because when you lift all the way up you basicly reach stock ride hieght

the stock struts are a few inches longer than the easy street ones when they're off the car.... due to the fact that when you jack up a car with stocks you gotta go pretty high before the wheels come off the ground (i forget the real word 4 that, preload?)
