front end question on black front rocket

[kslle]

need help trying to keep lf down. wants to raise up just enough to clear dirt maybe 8 inches. we have tried 45o 550 on left front, right front 350 on tacky, afco stacked spring on slick. left rear stacked spring afco, right rear 225. 53% rear. left side 54%. we have to run 50lbs on front cause of class rules. j bar above pinion. 350 5th coil back hole. thought about trying 250 or 275 on right rear but was afraid car might skate . this happens on throttle middle corner out.

Kind of thinking out loud here... How much droop are you running on the LR?
Might need to tighten that up a bit

Depending on your bar arrangement you could be getting way to much drop. Jack your car up by the frame near the driver and measure your drop and set it no more the 13 3/4. I've seen these cars able to get 15" on certain arrangements it also will make sure your not changing your drop with bar changes. Also rockets new LS weight spec is 54.5- 55.5 I run the upper end really helps this car out. You springs seem close. I'm 450 350-375 and 200s on Rear on most blacks. How much is 5th arm traveling and you have it preloaded correct?

We had same issue with blue/gray chassis. We limited drop with the alum clamp collar from Rocket, and moving RR back 1/4-1/2 from square. Start with standard length RR. Also, I usually dropped both RR's down a hole for the feature but didn't need it with the stacked LR.It really gave our car a lot of drive (too much sometimes).

thanks for the feed back. we are at 13 3/4 but may change it a little. 5th arm preloaded 1/4 inch but dont no travel, will put on travel indicator. what should it be? we too have dropped bottom rr but never top may try that.

Don't drop Rtop, it gives more drive! Make sure your right bars are 1/4-1/2" longer and you could also take out some jbar angle.
