I have heard about a running a traction shock and putting a 100 or 150# spring and it along with your lrb shock and spring combination. They are having success with this but can not get any feed back from them about it. Jw if anyone knew anything about it.

I do know that the traction shock has a 0 9 valving.

A couple of guys tried it around here on Pierce cars. I do believe they went back to the regular way after a few races. Im not sure if it didnt work because we run IMCA spec lates with low HP or if it just didnt work in general because of other factors.

I assume you are running this on a clamp bracket? It wouldn't make a lot of sense to me otherwise.

I have thought about it with a clamp as well. Do not see much help from the regular set up unless you had it preloaded at full extension, then it would only slow drop on unloading.

we run an afco gas shock w/ shrader valve on the front side of the birdcage, not clamped up, with 175psi and its awesome traction!

I run a traction shock when it gets dry slick, 140 to 155 psi

I've learned, well at least for me, a traction shock makes the car looser or more free, mainly on entry.

If it is like most traction shocks that are compression adjustable, take some compression out of the traction shock to tighten entry. It will actually make the car a little looser because of the large amount of compression. As the car sits down when you get off the gas it will instantaneously load the LR instead of the RR for side bite.

Taking a little compression out will load the right rear a little quicker and give a little more side bite.

It all ends up being a balance between the tires and how you drive the car. What some people really like others will hate.

i have noticed thta you have to play around with back shock and compreeion on lrf shock on diffrent tracks to not make car loose getting in and may have to tighten up others ways. while traction shock gets it full use on lr
