I agree with this 110%. You can make these trucks work with the factory-style rear spring and shock setup, but you WILL have to get as much weight as you can toward the rear of the truck( i.e. move battery to rear of bed, fuel cell or tank in rear of bed,etc.). As these guys have said, you'll need to loosen up the front-end with some drag shocks and drag springs. You want to plant the rear tires upon launch, and getting the front end to come up at launch will help with this. Search around on this forum; there is a TON of good info about what you're wanting to do on here. Good luck with your truck!
