      Just switched to spring behind from clamp. I was good with grip in the track but as soon as it slicked up I was a back marker. Haven't ran yet since I switched. I'll try to update which I like better in a few weeks.

        clamped setup needs axle thrust to get max traction..with bite in track it is not as important and helps loosen car in..when slick with a fifth coil or pullbar rearend, travel is minimal unless u use a 175 l.r. spring and a 175 fifth coil so rearend can load the springs slower and with more travel to give better forward drive or a softer lr and soften the pullbar spring,this also helps tighten in just a bit..(most feel this setup is just to loose in)at least thats what we did on the rockets in the mid an late 90,s..also ran double clamped somtimes and ran a 2003 grt swing arm car with l.r. clamped(no rear trailing arm)that was real fast....the l.r. rear spring behind is just a lot less trial an error and easier traction setup....also spring behind and shock in front is the best setup..the shock is on the better side of birdcage indexing to control it..and spring is on the better side to index into for lift and traction..~V~..
