4wd drag setup - Competition Diesel.Com

Willy91 · 02-22-2010, 09:58 PM

hello. Looking for some help setting up my truck for racing. truck is a 97 4x4 reg. cab. Currently being built for around 800hp plus or minus a little. I am looking for some opinions on setting the suspension. My biggest concern is I don't want it to bounce. I'm willing to sacrifice a tenth or two to wheel spin rather than bounce and tear up parts. What are the opinions on caltracs versus a light set of ladder bars? I currently am running a set of bars that are not to terribly heavy realy. Also looking for opinions on softening the rear suspension, limiting the front suspension travel.... any help you's can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a bad picture of my setup... but everything together weighed in at 46lbs.
