Would color matched limit straps work..

With a 62 impala you should not need chains to help 3 wheel at all! Are you trying to hop big inches or something? Otherwise you really don't need them.

true, you really dont need them unless you got a bad ass hopper. no chipin.

I was gonna chain the rear end..... The chains would make it so it raises evenly each side when hopping. It would also help by chaining off the cylinders to a specific hieght so you could compress the rear springs to stiffen the rear end up for hopping (less bounce)

But I never did...cause I didn't want no noisy rattling chains!

It's funny because I've never even heard the chains in the back at all on my car.... :dunno:

Jokerman brings up a good point. Some people need the chains to keep them from breaking trailing arms and such. Got to know when to stop hitting the switch up!

chain can be used so you can do a standing 3 without all the extra weight and chains can be used to keep the springs in the front if a ball joint breaks..

A tip

What I did was take some bicycle inner tube and pull the chain through the the tube. You can then either heat the rubber, or if its already tight enough leave it just like that.

Waola~ no road noise. :biggrin:

I'm sure that looks better than duct tape wrapped chain I've heard some guys talking about.....


Oh well maybe I'll just chrome plate my chains and leave them that way..... LoL

Just a thought, and I'm sure it's been mentioned before but why not use cable(s)??
