Cool I Love Slicks and Caltracs!

Installed my Caltracs....which make the world of a difference...you cna actually feel how well the truck plants all its power now.

Slapped on my 26x11.5 17 ET streets...took em out on the street to see how they flex...after the burnout i launched under 2000rpm and they hooked crazy! I cant wait for the track...traction...its nice to finally have some.

I just had my caltracs installed and now my truck sits 2'' higher than before. On the street I found traction was worse but I'll try the track next week. I lost the instructions and wanted to know what setting is good for street and track use. Right now they are just touching the leaf springs.
