Thread: Traction problem

Moving the axle to the top of the springs will also lower the back end about 5"....gonna look a bit weird unless you lower the front too..... How wide of a wheel and what tires are you running on the rear now??? What shocks do you have on the truck???

Don't know how much money you want to spend, but a posi, housing floaters, 32" ladder bars, good shocks, and soft compound tires work quite well on a pickup...

I had the same problem with my Jeep pickup that I swapped the 5.0 Mustang into.......I could smoke the tires all too easily and had to feather it off the line. If I had been serious about getting it to launch I would have gone to a posi and some stickier tires, but it was my shop truck, so I just lived with it.

If you look at any of the drag trucks running around you will see big meats under the back.
