Rule reads as follows.
•Tube chassis, back halved, 4-link, 3-link style rear suspension prohibited
(Note: Traction/Ladder Bars allowed)
I fully understand where you are coming from on the question of GDP style bars. The rule is rather loosely explained and could be interpreted a couple ways. This is why I called to talk to JJ in early 2013. He stated it to me as in heme-joints adjustable links. Not going to lie was a bit of a frustrating conversation trying to make sure we were both on the same page.
My original hope had been to do a ladder bar setup eliminating the leaf springs but keeping the stock frame rails intact but it just wasn't going to fly for the class from JJ's stance. The 2wd weight advantage of 5k for a 2wd is a pretty irrelevant number IMO hard to get one that light with factory frame. Your still very limited on tire selection as well.
SS class is a tough one I think for a 2wd to compete in hard enough for the 6k 4wd guys with some of the guys pushing the envelope in the class.
