hi
my truck has a hard time with traction in 1st gear take off---years ago i used air bags in the coils for a drag car with some success
has anyone played with them---or is it back to a 4in pipe filled with concrett for a bumper to get traction

thanks--bob

i would think it would apply to trucks too, i installed some on my dad's el camino years ago for the same reason. it rode like a dream when loaded, but was a little light in the arse and hard to handle when empty,....bags in coils helped a lot.
