I was wondering if there was any upgrades to my suspension so that I could spool up before launching. If i power brake at all i spin through 1st. I would either like to be able to launch in 4wd or make my back end hook up better.

| Gotta do 4x4 launch. It would take way to much messing around to try and make it hook in 2x4. I would recomend a set of spring clamps for the rear, tierod sleeves and at least cognito braces for the front and lowering the torsion bars is a must also!

| there are traction bars out there, but your best bet is to launch in 4wd. You will need tierod sleeves though so they don't snap like twigs. What tires (brand) are you using...I know that makes a difference too.

Super diesel performance is the guy that designed them, but if you go to their site, it redirects you to PPE's site.
