Suspension Questions
 
Curious what is the best route to go with the rear end/front end on my 69 C10 for drag racing? At first I was planning on building just a driver but now I'm thinking of building more of a street/strip toy. But I want it to hook up at the track. Gonna run a drag radial under it. What is the best route to go? Can someone point me in the right direction?

The lower control arms on the trucks can use work, you could go with the DIY box method or a set of porter built as well. Get a set of basic drag shocks for front and rear sway bars up front need to be un hooked. And start from there, the system these have works very well for what it is. Maybe a air bag kit inside the coils to adjust how the truck leaves. That would be a low buck way to have something that is still drivable and you can take it to the track..
