    they actually sell Spring clamps at the store

    caltracs can be made to hook on the street but were not talking about your typical setup either. youre not just going to toss them on and get instant traction. hell even DRs or slicks arent going to help unless your setup properly
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    You want traction on the street, get long bars and spring clamps. You want weight transfer over the ass end, long bars will force the front up. Dig way way back and see if you can find the video of Moze's (DamnYankee) at the LS1Truck vs. Lightning shoot out. Perfect video to show what long bars do, cuz Moze was having issues and had to keep getting in and out of the throttle, and it shows how much the ass end of that truck squatted and stayed squatted.

    Do some research on the F.A.S.T. (Factory Appearing, Stock Tires), going 10's on old bias plys and leafsprings. And are nothing more than slightly tweaked factory setups.
