Drag Shocks
Any of you guys using Drag Shocks to help squeeze a little more traction out of your rides? I have heard that you can contact most shock companies and tell the to re-valve the shocks to help grip a little better.

That's very effective old schooling. Back in the day six cylinder coil springs, no sway bar and 90/10 shocks was the setup for the front.

Back in the day, rear was mostly 50/50 shocks, with extended under hanging traction bars clamped to the spring with the bump sitting on the spring eye using a mono spring. Crude as shit but effective. On our trucks I like the CalTracs/Aeon spring bumper using a standard shock. The caltracs keeps everything in proper alignement so as not to damage driveshafts and bent up springs.

I'm contemplating dumping my leaf spring's and welding in some bracket's and doing coilover's in the rear,... and in the front.
I never seen a drastic change in a 60' from a shock switch though.

I've heard a tenth off your 60ft times with caltracs and around a tenth and a half with caltracs and drag shocks

Ryan, with the height of your truck you get more transfer then Red. As far as wheel control goes, CalTracs does the job with complete simplicty. You could a little more action if you raised the front a little and used drop shackles in the rear. Red squats on the Aeon springs and everything is locked in position. If anyone is going to be even half serious about their times they need DR's.

Oh yeah, deff man. Spend a few buck's and do it all. I got a set of 315/50/15 Hoosier Drag Radial's f/s. They have 4 1/8 mile passes' on em. My truck hooked really cleanly with em.
1.8 60's consistently. Dropping from 3400RPM and I don't have trac's on mine. It has shackles in the rear, with 50/50 MOPAR shock's with a "built" rear.

Jeff, your truck is badass. My 60.s are 2.1 on street tires. Stealth has a lot of bite. Very cool.
