Default 4WD launch suspension?

Looking for the best way to get rid of 4WD squatting and bouncing around (no wheel hop) during launches with 750+ bhp, any specific recommendations?

Seems that caltracs are more of a strip set-up, this is purely a street truck! Also not looking to cuztomise any parts to fit.

Rancho offer three different types of shocks (offroad?), then there are the belltech street's. The truck will be lowered 1" front and 2" rear MAX.

Whats my best bet at keeping the car leveled during hard 4wd launches?

I always thought caltracs worked differently than regular trac bars and were more street worthy.

not sure either, a search on the forum told me not to expect alot from a caltrac on the street. I want the truck to be more leveled during a launch

What about something from air ride technologies...I have seen a lot of there products used for street and strip performance. I seen them used to improve ride, sway, and sqaut...Pricey but worth looking at...IMO!

Just looked at them, they dont make anything for 07+ trucks, seems my options are very limited and again any suggestions are welcome on preventing squat/bounce

Caltracs and QA1 shocks should do what your wanting.

Qa1's also come with a set of customizations required tp fit according to what i ve seen on the forum unless theres another way.

Im going 1" lowered front and 2" rear only.
