What are you running for tires? Coil over setup, 4-link's etc. all help alot with weight transfer, but without a good set of drag tires you aren't going to hook. I've seen trucks at the track with stock suspension and a set of slicks hook up and run low 13's hi 12's, nothing fancy, stripped down and slicks. I run a 4-link and coil overs and street tires still don't stand a chance, I run QT Pro's and don't spin at all at the track, on the street is a different story.

I run a stock suspension(with lowering springs) and run 10.90's

I just recently aquired a 68 pickup and will redo everything from the ground up. Will that qa1/coil over setup be able to provide 6" of drop?

I want to do a 4/6 but would like to have some adjustablity for a good ride height as well as quality.

Any suggestions? thanks!
