You could take out the lower spring rubber spacer and achieve some minor lowering without cutting the new springs.

Anything you do to your front end is going to require an alignment

i put the stock spindles and belltech springs on, had to put on new sway bar end links cause one of the nuts stripped out

i had it aligned after and it drives really nice and straight now. looks good. rides pretty good.

Ran [email protected] tonight

No traction off the line
What was the DA/Density Altitude being naturally aspirated the trucks are very sensitive to the DA.That's about on par with what most stock R/T's run in Edmonton when the DA is around 4,000 ft.
If you're spinning hard off the line leave the traction control on,it reacts faster to wheel spin then your foot does

yeah i tried both ways and also lowering the rears to 15psi and setting my qa1s to lowest setting. no traction at all.

it seemed to get the best traction with 40psi in rear tires and qa1s set at 8 LOL

whatever, i might go again tonight, my son and i has a lot of fun. hes 16 and first time going to drags to race.

he ran his 03 g35 sport he ran high 14s but trapped 98mph.

i ran his car once and ran mid 14s at 99 lol not bad... his car has headers full exhaust intake and tune

There's still a DA number at Sea Level,especially in the summer.Mission is at Sea Level,and at this time of year it's not uncommon for their DA to be well above 2,000ft,and Missions just north of you.

anyone know what those things people put on their trucks sometimes right on the front lip of the top of the cab, sometimes they have lights in them or sometimes not. i can't tell what those things are called.

i have a little bit of clear coat that is damaged on the roof and i want to just cover it up with something simple until i can fix it right.

I'd be interested in seeing how a rcsb looks with a visor. I've thought about it but never pulled the trigger.

i got a trinity ex and put their tune and trans tune on needless to say im not impressed at least with the transmission tune it seems the same except shifting down earlier? which is basically just annoying

i was hoping it would just increase the line pressure / decrease the target shift time or whatever they do in in these transmissions.

Almost a half second improvement---not to shabby--. Have you replaced the stock drive shaft yet?
