Default 4/6, Caltracs, QA1's

That is what I have on my truck right now. DJM control arm and flip kit 4/6 drop, Caltracs, QA1 12way's all around. I just intalled the Caltracs the other day and just tested them out yesterday. Well I got more wheel spin than before. I spun all thru first and most of second gear on my 15x10 prostars and 275/60/15 ET Street Radials. Im thinking it is because I didnt adjust them right.
To where do you guys think i should adjust the shocks and bars?

Thanks
-Jesse

They are broke, just send it to me. I already have the djm kit and qa1s though, so all I need is the caltracs. Thanks

















Sorry I don't have any real input, but some of the guys with them should help you get them set up right. Bump for ya

I set my qa1s on 4 for driving around and adjust the cal tracs with a finger tips room between them and the springs... with the truck setting on level concrete. It hooks as good as you would expect on the street.

Nope, no caltracs here. Part number for the qa1s maybe, but not the caltracs unless I looked them up. And missed the part about settings on the qa1s, I started at 4 all around, and I know I clicked them up to 5 all around, but don't remember if I went one more click in the rear or not. I would start around 4 and play with them.
