I know it looks cool to hold it up. Most of you will say its pointless or not fast. This is the only setup ive never tried. Theres a practice day at a local track and i just want to try it out. I will need any and all help with set ups and numbers. Currently running a sportmod 3 link 07 harris. I cannot get the left front tire to lift at all. lf 500 lr 450 lr 225 rr 175 53% rear 50.2 cross. With 100lb split between lr and rr. What should i do with my numbers or add weight somewhere?

Its almost completely dictated by your left rear trailing arm angle, more angle = more lift. 25degrees should get you flying, then you will realize how much better it is with the LF on the ground.

doesnt matter how much angle it has if the rearend cant drop far enough. you will need around 5in's of drop in the LR to get the LF up.

This is close to 6" of travel on the LR. LF will lift up about 3-6" but nothing too drastic. This pic was taken last weekend @ Humboldt, KS. I was running a 15" shorty panhard bar also. So, as you can see, it all depends on a lot of things.
