    I am going to try a few rounds in the rf and lr and see what happens. I dont hardly have ANY stagger so I just cant believe that thats it. I did find that the lf strut was busted yesterday so its new now. I am thinking thats part of the problem lol. it was awful bad last weekend. I started on the pole and was checked out till a caution came out. from that point on the car was awful. extremely loose almost like the rr was going down. again I have little experience in these stock suspension cars and my late model experience is no help lol!! thanks for all the advice and tips!!

      Check all your caster and cambers if you had one busted. Its good to know anyways make sure your caster is Positive on both sides with some split. If you have lead maybe increase rear weight make sure nothing is being the rear axles that will pitch the car. Hope it helps! If bite helps as long as you don't loose the handling in the other parts you might just need bite. Check all your travels it will help alot!

        One other thing to look at is the caster. I never raced dirt but I could tighten the mustang up just by taking a degree or two out of the LF. Yes the LF camber , as I brought the top of the tire out more I could loosen the car right up and setting the top back a little could tighten the car. I never really figured out why it workwed but I think that geometry. Also with the mustangs dont get hung up on ride height. Getting the front LCA's level was way better than any gain you got from trying to put the car at 4 inches will screw the geometry up you wont know what it wants to do.

          Yeah I Agree Taking out caster will lenghten that sides wheel base which is why i said to check it it could show up any problems the longer LS wheel base will pull the car down and the split will put bite in the car is it turns. Also adding positive camber like you said can help at times.
