Sorry guys, please don't post non-sponsor links.....

 

Im trying to get my truck to pull a G. Im going to do it with leafs.

There are seven different types of rear suspension and the thing is not a one of them has a clear advantage over the others. Some do it easyer but all of them can be tuned to react to how ever you need.

 

I'm using KP components, bolt in 4 link kit with QA1 coil-overs. I cut a 1.7 60' on a 75 shot w/ bolts, using 3.73s and the stock G80... With the help of Mickey Thompson, ET street radials. No adjustments have really been made. I put the shocks at about 4-5 clicks, and it hooks. On my all-motor passes, I can not get it to spin what-so-ever. Limited to 1.8, 1.9 60s... Wont go any quicker.

 

I don't think that these look bad...and they hook really well. 275/55-16" M&H Racemaster DR's.

Definitely a good amount of sidewall, which is why I chose them.

1.73 short time w/ Cal Tracs and worn out Bell Tech Nitro Drop shocks.

 

Now you are tempting me to try the 4 link again. I want to hit 1.7's too.

 

i am going with a ladder bar set up for the same reason,i have talk to a few sup. guys and they all say a 4 like is not good for a truck as a DD.something about if you nit the gas load the sup. then let off and unload the sup. you can not loadit again right away,got to walk back in it.i am going with a ladder bar with a pan hand bar and coil overs

 

stock suspension and i hit 1.74s with just QTP 26x11.50x15

 

i have put down some 1.64 60' times i am doing it for not only traction but also the weight lose

 

me too! I was looking at air ride's website and they got there mustang to hit 1.48 60ft and ran 12 something. On an air bagged 4link. I thought that was impressive. I also was thinking of how much weight you could save. The rear springs are atleast 75lbs each. I know you don't want to take weight off the rear, you should take weight off the front. But any weight savings will help your trap speed. I figure if you get adjustable shocks front and rear. (qa1's or something) you could shift the weight to the rear pretty good.
