I'm still at my quest for more weight transfer, I have the EB coils up front with 90/10 shocks so that's good. I'm running 3 leaf packs on the rear and the Caltracs will prevent spring wrap and help weight transfer. Looking for any info,likes,dislikes or suggestions? http://www.calvertracing.com/caltracs.html Here's the system.

Here's a pic of what I threw together out of .120 wall DOM, I pretzeled it the 2nd time out:(

HE weighs 2200LBS on the front axle and 1600LBS at the rear, I'll never reach my 50/50 bias goal so I have to make it up with transfer.

My cousin built a set for his drag truck, after switching from a bronco body to a ranger body, it lost alot of weight transfer, the caltracs seemed to help a bit.

Good to hear, I ended up going with the fox 2.0 emulsions up front with a 60/20 bias, And I'm still undecided on the rear, I need something with a stiff extension to help control body seperation off the line but can't decide what do do on the compression side, I think I jumped in over my head on this suspension thing:(

You may have jumped in too quick, but just stick around and search a whole bunch. There is tons of shock info here. Just gotta find it!
