Re: new to Drag Racing!!
I run a stock style suspension and a stock frame with aftermarket parts bolted in factory locations . I also don't have a fullsize that is my race truck .

Re: new to Drag Racing!!
I have a modified stock setup. You can check my build thread in my signature It has lots of pics. Fair warning its long.

Re: new to Drag Racing!!
I, too, run the stock-style suspension with different shocks and springs front and rear. The factory trailing arm setup works very well in these trucks.

Re: new to Drag Racing!!
Stock rear suspension other than springs, shocks and home made adjustable lower control arm brackets (See thread)..
Front was stock other than shocks and springs, just made a new front crossmember but using factory control arms. Videos in sig. Should be a bit faster next time out.

Re: new to Drag Racing!!
factory trailing arm and a set of coilovers...... so far so good... mines a little picky about staying in the groove or it will spin every time.... I have never even put slicks on it... That will help a ton im sure
