wheelie bar length

(1/2) > >>

wideopen231:
 Wondering what lenght wheelie bar most are running. While I might not need them Im building a set for car and may remove after getting it dialed in. Besides I like having them in case of. Im thinking of going with 6' single wheel setup.Running two bars up and one at bottom . Thinking of going 1.125  tubing( I have two pieces that will work and only buy one 6' piece) .Any thoughts on size or length are welcomed,

rooman:
That is pretty much what I use and the length is the same on mine too. I have been putting a cross bar betwween the upper tubes about 1/3 to 1/2 way back from the chassis attachment point. I put a sleeve with stop rings on the upper bars and weld the cross tube to it. I usually use the McKinney adjuster on the lower bar but it is a bit "spendy".

Rooman, could you possibly post a pic or two of what you we just talking about on the crossbar? And including the McKinney adjuster? I am fabbing a 5' setup for my car, possibly could get some ideas from that. And also, what does the wheel attachment look like? Thanks for any help!

Go to McKinny's website, you can see the adjuster.  Go to Jerry Bickles or Neil and Parks website for everything else.
