I have done the searches and I am wanting know if some of you can answer a few questions I have.

1. how do you take it off, does it just unbolt?
2. what is axle wrap?
3. alot of talk about wheel hop, is that only at the track (which this truck will never see)
4. how much will it drop the rear if removed
5. what does the payload go to? 500-700 lbs?


I have leafspring clamps on it there now which add some stiffness to the rear ride and to me if fine but the wife comented on it and we went over some harsh bumps and it woke my son in the back seat so I though it would smooth out the ride if I took off the clamps and removed the overload spring.

Thanks

Remove the spring clamps, those are just a ghetto method to lower a truck. Run a 2"rear shackle instead

the clamps arent always used as a "lowering" solution. it actually helps at the track. with my truck on a 4/7 drop i can feel the rearend roll more without the clamps when it shifts.

take off u bolts than there is a bolt thru the center of the leaf springs. i would't take it out w/o caltracs. wheel hop would probably be pretty bad even on the street. i have 4 drop in rear, no overload, stock shocks, and caltracs. would't want to haul more than 500-600 lbs

How much are clatracs and does anyone have a picture?
I've never heard of these and I've been around and involed drag racing since I was 4 years old maybe its because most everyone I have know goes with coilovers. That's what I had on my transam

Well I took it off, not hard but this is going to be temporary fix till I get my flip kit

Speaking of which flip is good, I'm sure belltech is, but where can you get a mcgaughty one?
