Definitely. The front end hardly lifted the few times I tried it.
Coming from Bilsteins and stock shocks, the Ranchos are way better IMHO.

The front end lifting is called weight tranfer and thats not a bad thing lol. You just need to take advantage of it.
Depends where the weight transfer is moved from. You don't want to lift the nose of the truck.
I completely disagree. I want as much weight transfer as I can get. The more weight I throw at the back axle the better I hook.
It unloads the front end at the same time but that being said on a normal drive train you have 1 tire in the front turning and 2 in the back driving.Unloading the front end on a d max with ifs lets the front drive line do bad things IMO.
Perfect! I will have to get some. Do you have part numbers for shorter shocks than stock? I'm going to run a 2" drop with front to match, thinking I would be better off with a bit shorter shocks.
Since you've had both, do you think Cal Trac's would be better compared to a normal "axle wrap" bar?
WTF? LOL... I wish I cut 60's like "The Funk" 1.4 60's and watching his passes he has just about 0 weight transfer. If this was a SFA truck yes you would want the weight transfer
RS999272 Front
RS999113 Rear
I would only run the rears if you have more than a 3" shackle and overload gone, they are short, and the passenger rear shock may overextend if you lift the truck on a lift. I personally would just run the front's. :thumb:
Depends what your after, for a truck that DD's and occasional drag race I would still like to have long bars. If it strictly sees the track, Caltracs work better, IMHO.
Also depends on how low you go weather you need the shorter shocks or not. I have 3" drop shackles in the rear which probably only drop it 2" and my t-bars are droped almost all the way down. I run the stock length Rancho 9's with no problems.
Thats mostly true but like you said there is exceptions. I ran 1,61 on stock suspension...
I think the psi in the tires on a mostly stock truck is more efficient on the 60 ft than having a rancho suspension...
I can tell with my ranchos and cheater slick the launch are smoother and more consistent but i did get some good 60ft on stock suspension and street tire. Sometimes between each run, my psi on my tire went up by 2-3 psi and it did affect the 60ft...
So keep an eye on the psi you guys running and try different psi of boost on the line.. Sometimes more psi doesnt mean faster 60ft. you need to find the perfect balance for your setup and your truck.
