Drag racing...

Hey all,

I'm trying to improve my suspension for drag racing before my power level starts getting too out of hand, while keeping the truck decently streetable. Any suggestions, beyond what I'm planning?

I can't afford to have slicks shipped over to Hawaii, so I'm thinking QA1s, 58" traction bars and DS Loop, rear tire pressure lowered to around 20 PSI...

Sound good? Am I missing anything? Do I need QA1s for each corner, or just two for the rear? What about the fiberglass leaf springs JL is selling?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks, guys.


Thomas

Slicks shouldn't be that much....

There's nothing special about slicks vs a regular set of tires, so shipping to Hawaii should be less than $100.

Otherwise, sounds good.

Rear QA1's will be enough for now, though the front ones will make it handle awesome on the street

You don't need the fiberglass rear leafs, I run low 15 60 foot times on stock leaf springs.
