    Left rear shock

    Being told to move my left rear shock behind the axle and get ride of slider for dryslick, has any one done this and does it help?

    It will go forward better. You may find it more unstable going into the corner.

      better be a real good trailbreaker, or have a brake floater on LR.
      Cars can be a bit erratic on entry without the shock on front.
      I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

        Did not like it, saw top big name guys who raced 3-5 days a week who I raced with weekly, try it also about the same time I did and their results were worse that before trying it.

          When Jerry was at Shy, he was building a special lr shock just for that situation.

            This would be the only plausible method of getting it to work, which would be a super stiff compression shock to help control the rear end dropping if you have to get
            Out of the throttle

              True story. After switching chassis brands, we were talked into a different shock company. I sent Jerrys lr shock to them to copy it without telling where it came from. I got a call back asking where the heck did you get that . We've never seen a shock like that. Of course I didn't tell them but it made me feel good about Jerrys expertise.

                Those shocks are actually relatively reasonably priced if you know what numbers you’re looking for.

                  Please don't keep me in the dark what kind of numbers are we talking about.

                    You don't wanna go down that road. If you want to damp wheel movement, use mounts for your shock that are at least linear movement compared to the wheel travel.
