I'm pretty certain there's doesn't have coil overs on the chassis they've ran the last 2 years. It looks almost factory to me. Mine is dual coil overs with a cognito upper arm and Hsp made the lower.
Not necessarily. Lots of succesful gas pullers run alot of rake. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KYKQFKnmQ
The guy in that video is a multi-time rwyb champion with full pull productions which is a very competitive organization.
I used to run my truck ass in the air and it wouldn't hook worth a crap I dropped the rear way down and picked the front up almost have it when its sitting still looking like its going down the track
Not to insult you in any way, but some people can make one setup work and some cant. So you switch it and try something else and see if that works. I just posted that info so that clrussel wasnt instantly thinking oh crap we gotta change this rake b.s. asap because nobody has ever ran a truck like this and won.
Yea you are right, I must have been thinking about a different truck.

The way the hitch is mounted to the frame will dictate if the rake will work or not. So depending on how the complete package is setup, frame-suspension-hitch, it will change how well it works.
And remember, 2.6 trucks have four tires in the back, use them.
How is the hitch mounted to the frame? And where is it mounted to the frame? Receiver style?
Cut out everything that runs to above the axle. It's wasted weight in the back. Then take the rake out of the truck. Long bed truck?
Make sure the hook point is as far forward as rules allow to take out any possibility of the pivot length being longer than a short bed. If the rules say that it has to be the rear most part of the truck you are screwed. Short bed trucks are shorter behind the rear axle.
Rich, sorry for messing up your thread. Pull the torsion bars and all the components to lose the weight then mount some coil overs in there. I would suggest to adjust the front suspension stops on the different tracks.

no worries james! I like to see everyone get help if they need it...i'm just leary on changing my truck to much maybe i'll leave it be for now and see how my season goes
Did you try a little stiffer spring and/or less dampening on the rebound? Not saying it would have helped, just curious
