Stiff adjustable shock, or add spring to stock shock to stiffen up... But every truck will be a little different

Thanks for posting up flaco.

Right now I have caltrac's non-flip kit , removed one leaf and stock springs and shocks. Pinion angle I'll need to check, what pinion angle should I target?

The caltracs I don't think they are straight because when I tried to take all the load off it would only go a full turn after they came if the leaf.

I'd like to try that Coilover spring if it's a bolt in type deal an herd front v6 springs will help aswell as I am just running 90/10's up front

with it not having a flip kit, your never gonna get it to squat like our trucks do (flip kit ones) its gonna still plant the rear end down when you apply some power but its gonna raise the rear up as u do so...i have had some customers trucks sixty in the 1.4 without having a flip kit but their all nitrous and have to hit it hard out of the hole...

when u do a flip kit then you can adjust the bar to be staright as possible as it will help out alot...

pinion angle i always run it at -4*

thats why i think the assassin bars will be good for non flip kit trucks. seems all the adjustments will let you run a straight lower bar
