Make yourself some limiting straps.

try to stiffen up the rear a touch

I had the same issue and had to lift the rear and inch. To much squat in the rear. Have the rear lowered with 3 inch drop shackles and moved tothe next bolt hole. Much better!

We straped my friend Randys truck with all stock suspension and he cut 1.63 60ft's with it on a 7.50's pass in the 1/8th.

Ok what do you mean by straps? Sorry new to this, what do I strap to what? Thanks

Put a strap from either top or bottom a-arm to a point on the frame....if you strap it. What if you put your helper back in and clamp the front of it? That would stiffen the back a little bit.

What sort of angle are your traction bars at? they can have different effects depending on their angle / length etc.

What he said. How I straped them is I get a longer shock bolt at the bottom. Use two nuts, one to tighten the shock back up and a washer then my strap and then another washer and nut to tighten it at that point. I then at almost the top of the shock tower brace on the backside, I drilled a hole to use a half inch grade 8 bolt. Then ran my stap to that point and bolted it there. I belive with Randy's truck there was about 1/4 to half inch rise in the front on take off. Put your helper back in and clamp the front like Darkness suggested
to give the rear some stiffness.

Qa1 the rear. You could be squating too much with out the over loads

 

[BLKLMM]

Thanks Josh:hug: I was going to also drop a hole on my shackles to give it a better angle on bars:thumb:
