What do you plan to do with the bars? Just from watching the video, they seem to be working fine where ever you have them. JMO

Move them downward.. They raise the truck too much and make it unload..

I don't mean to tell a man his business, but the separation looks good to me. I would look at your shocks as being the reason for the tires coming unplanted. It leaves good but then the tires come unplanted when the shocks rebound. Again, JMO. Keep on keepin on man. Love the truck. Can't wait to see what it does next time out.

I agree to an extent. I think there's some things we can do before messing with the bars or the shocks. But whatever it takes, we'll figure it out and make it happen

There's definitely improvements to be made, always is with any setup... I haven't seen the video really, just on my phone so I can't pick it apart too much. But being that your truck weighs 400lbs less than mine and were doing the same 60' I'd think you could get a little better. I had the best luck with my Caltracs about a half round loose and 13.5 psi in the tires, shocks on one click from tightest (Calvert shocks)

With everything dialed in, on this jet we think we can get high 10.40s low 10.50s.. Then off to a bigger jet.. I think she your all said and I done you should have those times beat..

I figured that race truck weighed around 4000# lol

We cut the same 60' 400# heavier as well. Also with less power at that weight. Dropped 400#, added 100+hp and still only went 1.60. Definitely room for improvement, but you have to remember, these were only the 4th, 5th, and 6th passes ever for this truck in this shape.

We'll get it figured out.
