I had some wheel hop problems running 26" tire the few times I did. Since I've ran on 28"s, not problems at all.

Maybe need some leaf spring clamps?

Let me know man. I'll definitely be interested in that. Let me know how much you're wanting for them and I'll see if I can swing it. Also do you know a guy named Jerry from Lawton. He has a white 03 silverado with a 150 shot. We talked for a bit last night and he said he knew you. That was the guy I was talking about running 8.3s

I have drop spindles and drop springs in front and a flip kit in the rear with a c-notch and doetsch tech springs. I'm going to try and find out if they make the Ranch Rs9000 shocks short enough for my application. People seem to have good luck with those.
The drive shaft angle is now spot on. I installed a carrier bearing and 4* shims so the driveline is perfect. That was suggested last thread I made so that's why I installed them. Thanks though.

I still say bars will help a ton... and I'd consider a 28" tire given that converter, it never liked a short tire when I ran one.
Yea I think I'm going to ditch these tires. They don't seem to be the best for my setup traction or not.

How are you launching? What rpm? How do you do your burn out?

These EC's are bitch to get to hook. A lot of things have to be right for them to hook. I have yet to figure out what all those things are though.

I can't do a big burnout at all. I thought I broke my rear end last night doing a normal burnout in the waterbox and getting horrible wheel hop and hearing a nasty metal sound. Everything seems alright though so hopefully it was nothing.

I've tried launching at 2500 rpm, 2000, 1000, and off idle. All were between 2.10-2.15 60' times.

Did you take her up on the offer?

I had to cut the bumpstop almost all the way off so it wouldn't hit and unload the tires. What does your 3600 stall flash to? Why not try 28" slicks for more sidewall.
