I have cognito braces & sleeves on my truck to help with toe in/bunny hop at the track but now I have another issue.I still am having the bunny hop issue without the toe in now.
I have limiting chains on the front so when I launch the front doesn't totally rise up causing toe in and I don't decrank the t-bars.I want to run my truck at the track just like it is on the street.

So my problem is when I launch the rear squats causing the fronts to bounce, loose traction and cause a rough start.I still pulled a 1.7 60' the other night but it is not pretty.

options:
1.spring clamps on front of rear leaves
2.caltracs
3.suspension stops on outside of frame to the top of the spring packs- but these can't be run on the street though

Ultimately the rear squats because of axle wrap and not do to weight transfer right?


Thanks for any help!

 

Clamp the leaf springs front and rear, put a turnbuckle in your limiter chains so you can tighten them down at the track and loosen them for DD... Start there before you go to bars, you should see an improvement.

 

I vote caltracs

 

i would say the same but i dont think they'll work on a lifted truck the angle will be two much. but you might be able to do long bars?

 

I wouldn't do either with a lift... I'd look into more of a torque arm setup. But I'd try what I suggested first.

 

Calvert racing makes caltracs for lifted applications fwiw. I would at least call them and see what they have to say. Spring clamps will work well, but will beat you to death on the road

 

Is your rear suspension lifted with blocks or springs only? Or a combo of both? If springs, what brand, and how many leaves are in the pack?

 

2 AA leaves & a 5" block

 

Well, you could TRY clamping the springs, front and back......

Honestly, with a 5 inch lift block, it's still gonna have a fair amount of spring wrap.
You really should look into the CalTracs designed for lifted trucks. I would also combine that with clamping the springs at the track.

 

Caltrac's all the way! Since i put them on on my truck it doesn't squat AT ALL in the back. It might be different on your truck because of the lift but regardless of the lift they should still do the same thing: use your axle wrap to push down on the leaf springs.
