just ordered some new suspension components since i cant get my turdbox to hook. last time out at the track the only change i made was getting comp engineering drag shocks and setting them on the 70/30 setting, truck 60ft'd a little worse than previous times but did manage to drop 3 tenths.

as of yesterday i ordered the front drag shocks and today i placed the order for my srd assasin bars. my question is though i know i will want the front to unload as much as possible(90/10) but now with the traction bars the *** end will probably lift/plant rather than squat. so with that being said would i want to run the 50/50 with traction bars preloaded? also what notches should i use in the traction bars?

sorry for the questions but this is my first time setting up suspension to go fast rather than offroad and am trying to take in as much information as i can and to hit my goals which are damn near met

thanks in advance

t.j.

 

If its those skinny silver drag shocks they friggin suck. They might work on a 2000lb fox body, buy not a 5000lb truck. Get some big ranchos or other adjustables.

 

well i dont think i could return them now lol, the rear ones have been on for a few months now. i guess in time ill just upgrade again but to some nice qa1's or afco's. any info on rear settings with traction bars though?

 

Stock worn out shocks in front, air shocks in back, assassin bars with all the angle I could get, quite a bit of preload. Cut a 1.59 60" in an ext cab truck

 

thats a damn good 60" man! honestly im hopin for like a high 1.8 mabey high 1.7 all said and done. high 2.0 is the best ive cut so far on 70/30 and leaving on converter as hard as i could without blowing the meats off

 

anybody got any idea wether i should leave the rears on 70/30 or if ill have to go to 50/50 with the bars?

 

trying to 50 50 to start out with. If the tires unload then try 7030

 

the rears are on 70/30 i just didnt know with the traction bars if it now needed to be set up stiff rather than soft

 

Soft enough to let the weight transfer but stiff enough so the suspension doesnt bottom out and unload the tires.

 

alright thank you sir. stupid question though ive never ran a traction bar but dont the assasins tend to make the *** end lift rather than squat?
