Default suspension help

after the recent track passes and messing around on the street a bit last night ive come to the point where i can say im having some major traction issues. figured id see what some other members advice/experiences would be. before adding any more power im starting to think i really need to dial in my suspension, me being lifted vs lowered im kindve stumped on what to do

i figured id start off with some srd assasin traction bars or caltracs but ive also been curious to what i can do with the shocks? i was looking into the qa1 shocks but none are offered in the length i need. i know rancho makes the 9 way adj shocks but they seem for more off road purposes rather than a street/strip setup?

if anyone could help me out/shoot me some ideas itd be greatly appreciated!

thanks

TJ

I have some Cognito 50" traction bars on order, they should be in next week but I wont get them installed for a week or 2, I currently don't have any heads on the truck right now anyway. lol
I will let you know how they work when I get them on and running again
