What to do? no traction
#41
I have had the same problem with not hooking up. What made the biggest difference on my truck was replacing the et streeets with hoosier full slick and removing the bump stop. My next step to improve traction is using a 10'' rim for the hoosiers and removing the bottom leaf to see if it helps. Oh, and I have caltracs too.
What was your 60' on the 11.50 run?

The swaybar shouldn't effect the caster/camber it simply doesn't "tie" down the front end and will allow the front end to have have a lifting effect under throttle when removed. It helps for weight transfer under hard launching conditions.
I have not had any problems with cornering or drivability although i am lowered 4/6 so i already have a lower center of gravity to prevent body roll.

The ladder bar I was thinking about was going to be custom made. It would be on only one side, the drivers side. It would bolt onto the crossmember in front of the rear end and bolt onto the axle housing. It would bolt onto the axle housing in 2 places, 1 underneath the housing and 1 above. It would also have an adjustment to dial in the pinion angle. Does that make any sense? lol

Its not gonna affect your alignment....i had great results when i took it off my 78......it def got the front end lifting up on the launch......hell i wound up leaving that bastard off lol

Yep, as stated above the sway bar does not play with any alignment specs.
Take it off, if you dont like the results put it back on! Its very simple to remove.
I took mine off with the truck on the ground with the tires on! It took about 15-20 minutes to remove.
