found out my passengers side rear sway bar mount broke. Imma try welding it back together tomorrow and if that dont work ill just pull the damn thing.

Also decided I wanna finally install my rear shocks.

Pulled my spare 4.0l apart, down to the bare block, gonna find some to go 30 over and hot tank it. Also painted my spare valve cover grabber green, gonna try and put that on tomorrow lol.

Also decided im gonna weld in a custom trailer hitch mount welded thru the frame. and might do a cut and fold on the rear quarters.

Sway bar has nothing to do with ride quality.

My Firebird is all poly suspension and I upgraded the sway bars and now it drives awesome. Eibach Front 1 1/4 Sway bar, 1 1/8 drag rear sway bar. Straightline performance was much improved
