What is the best way to set caltracs when first installing? I have heard to jack up the rear till suspension is all the way out the snug the bars. That eay they will load up when lowering.

nooo.... install, drop truck, then tighten until spring stop bolt touches upper spring and then preload it with an additional full turn.

Not necessarily right on either accounts. This is the best information I've seen posted on Caltrac setup. Post #11 specifically, but some good info through out the thread. Hope this helps.

thats an awesome read man thanks.
I'll be throwing mine on soon and I was wondering about that too.
Ok, one more question. What hole works best on the front hanger. The lower or the higher setting.
I leave mine on the lowest hole, and with the nitto 420s tires and 20s I was cutting 1.72/1.73 all last night. Still a lot of room for improvement too.

Yeah trent did I don't know where it is. Trent said using his chassie software to put.it.in the top hole bacuse it brings the pivot point of the truck toward the rear wich in turn keeps the frount.end planted. I have tryed both there's not a big difference but it did help
do higher HP applications require the use of traction bars?
i dont have a built motor and i 60ft at 1.64 w/o caltracs (clamps) and could only get 1.68 with them. (bottom hole)

you are a freak of nature.
i wish i could just not worry about lunchboxing my motor so i could some play with you fast guys and actually NEED CALTRACS lol
Back on topic, i thought the bottom hole was supposed to work best but i wish i would have at least tried the top < no homo :thumb:
