    TBSS with upgraded PB,CA like a spohn setup is stock suspension

    4 link of any isnt stock suspension

    ladder bar isnt stock suspension

    just comes down to what you want to run in a certain class or etc.
    Hate to argue with you, but some vehicles come with 4 links off the lot. Imo stock is what it comes with from the factory.

    You can argue all you want, but there are rules that state differently in certain organizations. It clearly says in those rules, TBSS with upgraded is considered stock. What are you even arguing?

    all the rear suspensions made by DBRODS are in deed 4links but not a factory style 4link which wont qualify as stock suspension. i dont care if you argure, your just pissing in the wind. Facts are facts, a class rule isnt going to change cause a few ppl disagree

    For the record mine came with a 4 bar and still has a 4 bar... I'm an SUV anyway, not a truck.

    Look around and you won't find any classes that still go by "stock suspension"... Nobody gives a shit about that anymore. They go by tire size... Drag radial, 275, 10.5, etc etc. That's what EVERYBODY goes by now a days... Tire size with limits on turbo size, how many stages, N/A, yada, yada. Whatever happened to just claiming you have a fast truck period

    Trying to justify you have done "something" with virtually "nothing" when indeed that is not it at all.

    EXAMPLE: Flaco makes a truck run its ass off at the track, and makes it appear like he's done something amazing with virtually nothing. Albeit he has done something amazing, but with a lot of power. THEN new member comes on the board and wants to run 9 second pass in his truck and wants to know what he needs to do ,to make his like flacos. Dude realizes that its not that simple. TRUE STORY

    This is true... it's not easy to "just go run a 9". Alot of people make enough power to run a 9 on paper but it doesn't always happen... and there is a HUGE difference in a 9.99 vs a 9.0 lol some just "make it look easier than others"
