If your gon'a drive normal, need to back'm off or they'l bind in tight turns.

My buddy ran a '69 Firebird in the mid-90's with new T/A springs and Lakewood J-bolt traction bars out back and no shocks. It ran great on the street, kinda stiff ride, and hooked up well. Always amazed me how it drove with no shocks.
