i may need to buy shorter shocks. it's pretty tight in there. im guna watch it and see how it acts once the bed is on.

 

ok cool.

im thinking about going with some qa1s when i get around to shock relocation

 

Let us know how it works out for you. I have been pondering doing the same thing. I recently discovered I have a positive pinion angle so I am going to fix that and see what difference it makes with the Hotchkis leafs. I have my notches sitting on the work bench and I want to do the shock relocation as well. If that doesn't get me where I want to be, I will be doing the flip kit / Caltrac combo like you are doing.

 

I've thought of Caltracs for a long time. They seem rather pricey for their basic function. Not tryin to just sayin. I was told I don't need them. IDK if he based that on where I'm at now, or my eventual goal ET-wise.

Single or dbl. adj. Cause the dbl. adjustables are steep.

BigKID, FWIW, I never had a different pinion angle after the Hotchkis install. I've been told their not the best for drag due to their deflection. But I want to handle & have a straight line warrior, so they stay. It's just whether I wanna get Caltracs & possibly make it ride more harsh over big bumps than now, & lower clearance out back during winter.

I'm not disputing they work, but if I can get past those items, I'd buy some.

 

It looks good Stewart, good luck in whittling down those 60ft-er's. Keep at it, and keep impressing everyone with that damn gray school bus!

 

my 91 came with caltracs but it's blowing the tire off on the spray.I thought about adjusting the preload but I'm not sure on longer or shorter and how much.I like your setup it's very simple and clean and should work well.will your fuel gauge work and how much was your tank?

 

blowing off THE tire? sounds like you need a posi.

 

mybad ,TIRESSSSS

 

you just have to play with them. tires make a big difference too. what tire are you running at the track? yes, my fuel guage will still work.

 

what about moving the shocks to a V . . . kinda like the older 4wd Dodge trucks were like?
