REAR WHEEL TRACTION
HEY WYLDMAN,
I was over talking to Kenny Bumberra on 6 today and was telling him about our traction problems. He has a 99 F-150 Short Bed with a 5.4 that he is experimenting with. He's lowered it 4" by changing the springs and shocks. He says the stock gas shocks are way too stiff. He says it rides great and hooks up great. You otta go by and visit him. He races and has building fast vehicles for years. He's got a Firstone dealership just south of ten on hiway 6 on the west side.

Thanks Noel!
I was up there the other day getting fuel. One of his guys said he had just bought a Lightning. I'll go by there tomorrow and talk with him. This just might be the ticket!

It's not a lightning, but it is a short bed with a 5.4. some guy ordered it (about the only way you can get a short bed with a 5.4) and didn't take it. So far he has lowered it, put on our wheels and tires, and he has a vortec blower ordered for it.
