    some type of posi/limited slip differential(LSD), MickeyThompson Drag Radials, CalTracs for a leaf spring setup, four link for all out usage, drag bar to make it squat straight down on launches, 90/10 shocks with the front sway bar removed for weight transfer(front end rises)...

    Open diffs can pull with both wheels on slicks at the strip if the chassis is loaded properly.

    I have a LSD and 15x30x10.5 Hoosier slicks. Does anyone make a drag spring for the front and like slapper bars or something like that to bolt on the rearend? I am having wheel spin problems even with the huge slicks. I need to transfer weight to the rearend, I.E. dragsprings, drag shocks. Then I need to plant that to the ground, I.E. slapper bars, or a cal-track setup. I just need to know if these parts exist for our trucks.

    i run cal tracs and DRs, you can call cal tracks and get em for around 350$ unless youre lowered and if they got to fab some crap up its 550$ i took out my overload i would recommended putting bump stops on if youve taking em off, because with the overloads off i was launching and the fenders were cutting into my tires.
