Thanks Jeff,

I was able to make one hook this year, bounced most of the way down the track. From the video it actually looks more like it is jumping down the track. I was hanging 800lbs off the fron, rear was blocked tight and it still jumped all over. I was running some Pro-Comp 305's on Chevy HD Factory wheels. Need some analysis on the run but cant figure out how to post a video on here so people can give me their opinions on what went wrong!!
