UMI Performance 79-98 Ford Mustang Rear Lift Bars

UMI Performance is known for making well-built suspension components, and these rear lift bars are a prime example. If you're looking to get the most out of your classic Ford rear-wheel-drive car, especially for drag racing, these bars are designed to significantly improve your launch. They replace your stock control arms and work by using the axle's torque to load the chassis, forcing the rear wheels down and pushing your tires into the pavement. This setup helps achieve harder launches and better 60-foot times, while also reducing that annoying wheel hop you might be experiencing. They are designed to fit a range of popular Ford and Mercury models from the late 70s through the 90s, including the Ford Mustang, Mercury Capri, and Ford Fairmont.

These lift bars are constructed from boxed mild steel tubing with a 0.120-inch wall thickness, paired with 0.250-inch thick mounting plates. Everything is CNC machined for precise fitment, ensuring they bolt right up using your OEM hardware. Inside, you'll find greaseable aluminum bushings with steel sleeves, giving you a solid connection that's also serviceable. While they offer a substantial improvement in traction, it's worth noting that they are recommended for drag and race applications only, as you may notice an increase in road noise. Installation is a straightforward bolt-on process that shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, with no drilling required.
