Dumb LCA question.

[Rdchallenger]

So I got a set of LCAs at Carlisle for a fantastic price (Borat voice) "great success". But I'm unsure what this tab is on the new ones that I have circled my originals do not have it.

Great success!
That's for a sway bar, score!

Well damn! My stock ones don't have that lol. $100 for the pair. That's going to be exciting to add!

Add a big sway bar, you won't believe how much nicer it will drive.

Already looking into it... This just made my night!

but beware.... one thing leads to another! 

Recommend this one, (I'm using it on mine) but shop around for pricing!

Yes: When I typed "big" I was thinking well big along with a rear bar to balance it of course. Then of course there's shocks, t-bars etc. but that front bar will really help.

Definitely going with .9 torsion bars... and well a nice new sway bar... other than those things. Nothing at the moment.

I'd go with at least 1.03" minimum

What about the 1.00 firm feel?

I started with 1.03" then quickly sold them off and went to 1.120" FF also have here 1.180"FF but haven't tried them yet. . I think they( the 1.030") were PST? They also sell hollow sway bars I think like Hotchkis.  Stock diameter Mopar torsion bars are great for restoration but not handling. IMO

Be forewarned , its not just one part that makes a car handle well its the combo, buying just a big torsion bar won't cut it, shocks, sway bars, tires etc....   mission creep! 
I'd suggest figuring out what you want in regards to handling first, for me I was after the best I could make it with the stock design. Other's just want a cruiser, others want an improvement over the stock set up. The old saying "speed costs money. How fast do you want to go"

[Rdchallenger]

Honestly just a little improvement over stock. The sway bar setup is a nice surprise and I figure a little bigger torsion bars will help as well. The car really just will be a weekend cruiser on rural roads.

Then yes the 1" will be fine . I can't remember what your engine is SB or BB . If its a BB then I'd go the next size up? 1.060" If your wanting to stick with FF which are great products, they make the best quality torsion bars IMO . I was involved with a circle track project a few years ago. Tried every torsion bar the local Mopar dealer could get and the race car would never be consistent, ride was always lowering/changing. Got a set from FF and that solved that problem. Ride height never changed after that. FF also is a dealer for Bilstein shocks so I see.... one stop shopping to save on shipping?

Great products, great service a Firm Feel.

One other thing to consider; the reinforcement plates that could be added to the bottom of the LCA's. Since they are out of the car; helps with flex for minimal dollars. I am thinking that you will change out the LCA bushings. I bought this kit from Just Suspensions.
