Drag setup

[1slomax]

need some help on suspension setup to get some good 60fts,
Truck has a 3/5 drop with no over load with qa1 shocks on all four corners how do you want both front and rear stiff or soft , also what do you need to do to keep the front end from lifting ? Thanks in advance

^^^That thread may help ya out^^^

What tires do you have now? Better grip = quicker 60' times
You might wanna get some trac bars and spring clamps or a set of caltracs if you don't have any of it already
Of course you know to ower your tire PSI, lower in rear than front by 6-10lbs, seems like most guys run somewhere between 30-40psi on AT's, some go as low as 25psi tho...track condition's have the overall say on that
Remove the T-bar bolts and get the front as low as possible to start
Get converter lock up updated into your tuning or get a lock up switch/box...

The addition of any one of those items should positively impact your 60' performance, if nothing less, you'll get more and more consistant

I've never had adjustable shocks on a rig like this, I'd like to hear what people set the adjustments at, for the track...

Thanks for the response right now it has 420s I've added a fleece alli locker to the truck, im trying to get the truck to cut low 1.6 high 1.5 60s , trying to find out if you want the front end stiff or soft so it doesn't lift

Single or double adjustable shocks? CalTracs?

 

[ScreaminDuramax]

I cut high 1.6 with my 420s and caltracs tightened.

Has double up front single adjustment in rear , no cal tracs just a normal set of ladder bars

My general setup is front rebound all the way stiff, front compression about 12 clicks towards stiff, rear run about 15 clicks stiff, Caltracs I let the bar touch the spring then add about 2 flats to it preload from there. Tire pressure on 30 14 is 30 front 18 rear to start. I adjust accordingly to the track conditions
