    Single Cab Traction suggestions

    I recently have swapped a 6.0 into my 2000 silverado single cab. Wasnt sure if there is already a thread about this. But What are good suspension upgrades to get better traction since the rear end is light on these setups. Looked into traction bars, not sure what else.

    on a budget I run caltracs with the overload flipped and clamped to the leaf pak in the front, I run rancho shocks.......been a best of 1.65

    on the lightning I run adjustable long bars with over load removed and rancho shocks

    If you got the fabrication skills the best budget move is to relocate your rear shocks. Clamp your leafs. A good posi such as a trutrac and stickie tires will help a ton. Caltracs are great for axlewrap. Good adjustable shocks if you know how to set them up.
