Idaho Rob and the rest of us gave up on strapping the front end a long time ago. Better to let the truck do it's thing and just slow it down a little. Adjustable shocks help a lot. 1.7 on street tires is a good 60'. But if it's working for you don't mess with it. Once you get the HP up you will do way with them for sure. If you are spinning your tires on the launch try lowering your tire pressure some more.:thumb:
shock choice and setup has a lot to do with if strapping will make a difference. strapping the front end is a "crutch" to a bad shock setup for drag racing. having an adjustable shock such as the QA1 shocks where you can drasticlly slow rebound is highly benifical.
If your like me and run a lift, a shock designed for off roading, and big hp, the front will raise too quick causing a good amount of tire toe-in and well as a bad hop affect on top of bad toe-in when the UCA hits its bumpstop abruptly.
Put a strap on that is almost completely tight when you lower the front end (specially a strap like mine that has some give in it) and its can make up for bad shocks to a point. Had i not put them on, my front would lift to the moon, hop bad and toe in horribly. my straps have some give to them so its not like im launching without any front suspension, you need some give in both tires and suspension to help keep traction upon launch otherwise you will spin easier. thats why a drag race shock is the best route to go.
i only cut a 1.9 but my tires were at 50psi all around and only have 1/4 tread left. they suck for the track as is. new tires and lower air pressure and ill bet i can get a 1.8 or maybe, just maybe a 1.79
