    Ya'll gave me a headache just reading this. The car is STANDING on the RR off and there is not enough tire there to do the job.

    53.5 left 54.0 rear up 25lbs on the rf spring and the MB setup from there. I would also consider less bite like under 75 lbs. JMO what have you got to lose?http://www.4m.net/images/smilies/cool.png

        Do you have an adjustable nut to adjust your rf springs to where you can make it get on or off the bigger or smaller spring sooner or later?

            Is it a standard Smackdown? Could it be a Stuckey car? I'm not sure about now but some of the older Stuckey cars had different axle tube lengths and used a 6" offset wheel on the RR. It has been a while so I may be completely wrong too.

              what is your wheel base on each side? if you lead the rr vs trail, that will help sidebite through the whole corner.

                I'm even up. No trail or lead. Running the Left Bottom bar one hole up from bottom, so it shouldn't be getting too much rear steer neither.

                  Have you tried taking a little angle out of your j bar? Sometimes too much will angle will cause it fight itself getting over...good luck!

                    Thats what I'm trying this week if the weather holds out. I also found that the rearend was out of square aswell. So it is back to where it should be now. I've also dropped the Jbar to 7.5" on the frame, removed 1% from the rear and dropped the RR top link to the 3rd hole down. We will see.
