| Chain bridges change the fulcrum point bringing it further forward so the car will three easier plus by using a longer lift than the amount of chain you have it will lift until the chain locks straight then the remaining force will be used to force the opposite side up into the arch (like when you dump) To run a chain effectively for example on a car with a 10" lift use a 10" chain so you get max lift but use a 12" ram, the remaining 2" will provide heaps of force to pull the front of the car up and over the fulcrum (central balance point) the same way you'd use a crowbar <sort of ?> Make sure your frame is well strengthend where the chain mounts as it wrecks the frame if installed badly. |

| Frank, give ya hint homie... unless you already done it..... Raise your bridge up 4-6 inches. it will allow for a full stack in the back.... We were going to do it with 2x2 box and just kinda frame it in. but i got rid of the car..... Unless you arent going to dance it..... |
