Cannot hook up at track!

[T.R.P.]

Went to the track last night with stock tires and was having all kinds of problems. Raced once and the truck started smoking from under the hood, so i said **** this, and changed the tune.

Anyways, I got one good launch in and went a 2.3 60' because the truck was hopping so damn bad. The pass was a 14.33 at like 94 or something.

Anyways, what can I do to help get traction and stop the hopping?

lower the truck or get some traction bars

Strap the front end down, traction bars in the rear.

What do you mean strap the front end down?

Some folks that pull, use a strap to strap the leaf spring to the frame, less travel and wheel hop up front.

Radius arm to the frame then.

i took my truck to the track and had bad traction probs too. i literally spun the tires half way down the track. no joke. after a few runs we brought the tire pressure from like 80 down to 20 and the truck hooked up really good and we got it down to a 15.2
