Default feedback plz!!!

My rear end sinks bad and tires spin when i take off or mash the skinny pedal so im thinking i need some stiff shocks. Ive read about the QA1's and have found them on summit with a compressed length of 14.870 inches... will they work on my 5/7 drop and help me hook better?

What do you guys think/recommend?

Relocate your shocks both behind axle get qa1 or rancho rs9000 shocks with a compressed lenght of about 10-11" and get a set of caltracs or long bars. No more traction issues...

Clamp the front of your leaf springs together works good too. Make sure u clamp it with the over load though. the ride is a lil stiffer but helps the launch quite a bit. I gained .2 seconds in the 60ft doin this
