We are looking for what it seems everyone is looking for this time of year......an increase in forward drive and sidebite in these dry summer conditions. So with that being said......................
Assuming all things are equal......if i lean the top of my RR shock in, will that enhance forward drive and side bite? Also what if i stood the LR shock up by moving it out at the top, would this enhance froward drive and side bite? Been told different stuff and just wanted to get some more opinions on this.Right now been running the LR shock in at the top and the RR more straight up.
Which makes more traction on the LR in dry conditions........
1. A gas shock and spring behind with no shock in front
2. A gas shock and spring behind with a true dummy shock in front on BC
3. A regular fluid shock and spring behind with no shock in front
4. A regular fluid shock and spring behind with dummy in front on BC
5. A regular fluid shock and spring behind with "traction" shock on BC
6. A regular fluid shock and spring behind with "traction" shock on clamp bracket
7. Something else
Also assume that for the above scenario the LR spring is a 225 lb.
Another question........will relocating the birdcages left and right on the rearend help increase forward drive and side bite? What i mean is this.......when u look from the back of the car where the 4 bars hook to the chassis i have spacers on both sides of the heim joint (as i think we all do, LOL). They are different lengths on either side, for example one of the spacers is like 1 1/2 inches and the other is like 3/4 of an inch. What if i flipped those spacers around and realigned my birdcages to make sure that the 4 bars were in a relative straight line, what affect would that have on my forward drive and side bite? What if i just flipped the spacers and left the birdcages in their current locations? If this helps any, when/if i were to flip the spacers around, the right side bars would be moving "in" and the left side bars would be moving "out".
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
