im haveing troubles gettin traction

blackbmagic

You really have to give us some more info:

What rear? Tires/size/type? Shocks?

Posi rear and a 245-255 series tire with a quality tire aggressive summer tread should get you hooking up no problem.

Im around 375hp and I have no problems with traction. I run Bilstein shocks all around, 275/45/18 Goodyear f1's, and stock posi unit with 3.73's. I can break them loose If I try but I generally don't have much of a problem with dry weather traction.

Good tires.
Lower Control Arms [relocation brackets as well but not necessary]
Shocks
Springs

Battery Relocation will take weight off the front and put it in the rear.

what r some good rear springs to go with the lca brackets and the 50/50 rear drag shocks

dusty's89

ive still got the stock springs whats good to go with

Edelbrock makes an adjustable torque arm which allows you to adjust pinion angle. If you can get your pinion angle set right it will hook up.

i dont have that on there yet ill have to check it out thanks for the info keep comin one any other ideas

J91

Tubular Energy Suspension, w/ polyspherical bushing LCA's, Poly mounts on trans and sway bar links, UMI torque arm, drag radials (MT's), 3:73 gears, moser axles, auburn posi, w/girdle....

91 Droptop

Drop in a import engine maybe a 1.5, but don't add any stickers it will add to much HP. thought I would lighten up the post

I am currently putting my set up in, 3:42, 4th gen rear with Bilsteins and Founders rear-end set up, I won't know untill it hits the street agin in about 2 months

LCARBS
Lakewood 50/50 shocks for the rear
Battery in the truck
Remove the front sway bar

If you dont drive alot, get drag radials(BFG or MT). They wear out quicker than a regular radial but hook up ALOT better

My best 60ft is 1.52

Konis helped my traction surprisingly with my setup. Et Streets is next for me. Although I see the 9 bolt going soon.

what exactly does it do when u take off the front sway bar. also what is a good pinion angle to start off with and what springs r good for just good lanunches

UMI Sales

Hey Dusty. The lower hole(s) would be a good thing to try. We have customers who do just fine on the top hole but others require the lower hole setting.

We have adjustable torque arms if you choose to go that route as well.

UMI is having a Thanksgiving thru Cyber Monday sale. Check our site or sign up for the newsletter to see the deals.

For a quick solution, the lower holes should help.

ps LB9GTA, nice 60 ft!
