Re: traction question

I'd have to agree with djracer and 71 drag truck. Put the slicks on it, if you Still need more traction then you could take a leaf or two out (I would run at least 3 or 4 leafs) clamp the front of the stack together then throw a pair of slappers at it (I would say caltracs but there about $325 a pair) and see where that gets ya. As far as trailing arms if your not lookin to go any faster than say 11.50's I would not do it, thats allot of work that can be avoided with the right setup. What are you running for a front suspension setup? You can lose a good amount of weight and get allot of weight transfer by going with tubular components and a good set of adjustable springs and shocks, the front suspension and stance plays a big roll in hookin up
