Tire Specs for BFGoodrich Radial T/A
Gone, but not forgotten!
Well the more and more I think about this, and juggiling the cost of such things. Would I be better off just changing my shock setup in the back and putting the caltracs on?
I was looking at their site and I think it looks like htey make a set for people that have a flip kit like I do. But how low is this going to sit? will I have scraping issues?

No worse than your front end. You don't have enough contact patch fo the power. Caltracs aren't going to solve that.

I have a fuel Cell, Caltrax and a Detroit with a 3200 stall and I dont have much trouble hooking maybe i just need more power !!... I have a 20gallon.. as close as the fittings will allow me to the tailgate... Its allways on the Caltrax they are noisy !! ... Cheap is New rear shocks and at least unhook the front sway bar !! I have yet to do it but it will help alot...
You mean my tire/wheel setup? Im trying to look into different wheel/tire setups. But im juggiling that with the fact of putting in springs/rods/cam/stall first...

what size are your tires, my tbss has 265/55/20's and im 2wd and they dead hook. i went up a tad from the stock 255's that were stock (after i smoked em bald) and i get almost no wheel spin off the line, just a little chirp.

adjustable rancho's out back set about middle ways.
summit adjustable drag shocks up front set to 90/10
clamp your spring pack
adjust your pinion angle to -2*
search around and the big boy drag racers pay ALOT of attention to their pinion angles. it has alot to do with 60' times. your not cutting good enough 60' times to bother with relocating batteries and fuel cells. your problem is somewhere else. im willing to bet it's mostly the pinion angle and the tire setup your running.

how do I know which ones to get since I have the flip kit in the back? Do you have to get a certain clamp for the springs, or could I use a ubolt of some sort..

you can get a set of spring clamps from 0-reily for about 10 bux. they keep them in stock. it looks like a u bolt with a solid plate. clamp the front side of your spring pack (cab side).
if your current shocks are the right size for your application, just pull your shocks and measure the extended length and compressed length and call up the technical center of summit racing and they can hook you up with the right shocks. they are extreemly helpfull and know their crap. i measured bolt eye to bolt eye when figuring out which shocks i needed.
