Anybody running a GERST triangulated rear suspension?

I started at the lowest setting and went up from there using mopar xhd leaf springs. No complaints on street driving.

Zack,
These look to be pretty neat. If you're a welder and understand pinion angles I guess the "no U bolt" feature is OK. I have the Cal Trac Mono Leaf springs and the Competition Engineering bars, which are basically a copy of the Cal Tracs. Very easy to adjust and work well for me. The .05 difference in 60 foot time, if indeed true, really only would matter to a dedicated race car.
I tend to agree with 66Satellite47 that the ability to make too many adjustments is probably not a good thing for most folks... AND, before I get a rash of hate mail, note I said MOST. I know there are some of us that can't stay out of the garage...lol.
 
I got these off my buddy that converted to 4 link (I built his Dana 60, narrowed it, welded the link tabs to the rear). I’m still messing with them as I drive on the street. I only got these cause my narrowed Dana 60 doesn’t have a provision for a pinion snubber. So I wanted something to control the axle wrap, didn’t want to run SS springs, so I got these bars.

The first run down the street was scary, I had adjusted the left side a bit more and it launched me to the left. So I readjusted, launch was AWESOME! This little A body with a stroked 472 and 4 speed is a GD ROCKET out of the hole. Scary fast!

Still working on it, just installed QA1 single adjustable shocks at all 4 corners. Can’t wait to see what it does now.

Hey coloradodave, your point is well taken that there are many that can find the small improvements with super adjustable options. I have also seen a number of very qualified folks chase their tail with maximum options and lose sight of the goal. I try to use KISS as much as I can, still overthink too much stuff.
