Looks good. Doesn't seem to unload once you get going. Squats and goes just like you want it to.

I was hoping to dead hook with the slick, but it still spun reason why I'm asking about suspension..

Sway bar unhooked but still there with longer front shocks. Not sure if the longer shocks or helping, but it's nice to have them for just in case..

if you look closely you unload a split second after you hook, i replayed you vid multipule times, its not bad but it is unloading, try some cal tracs and clamp the springs or clamp the springs then try it.

I've done the same. It seems to hook right @ the punch then losing it by the time the tire makes a full turn. Wonder if the tire spin is causing the unload.. Need a slow motion camera lol
My tailgate was up that's why it didn't hook lol I plan on racing next year so I need to get it consistent Out the hole..

Do you have a stiff shock? Maybe the shock is compressing and fighting back at the bottom?

Just some heavy duties... I've tried regular shocks, but it seems to do better with the heavy duties.
