well if its hitting bump stops with a notch, that means to me that you need a deeper or taller notch. Im still trying to figure out which really is better squat or lift so any actual experience with both can help

Well Bluecajun, and I have been messing with the suspension on his truck, and it was on a 2/4 drop Hotchkis springs in the front, with adjustable shocks, hanger, and shackles in the back as well as adjustables. And it wouid hit the tires hard, and then bounce of the bumstops, unload the tires, and spin. So we tried to stiffen up the rear shocks, soften the fronts, and it would just spin off the hit... Netting around 1.8X 60'...

Since then he has raised his truck to stock height, and went to a 15 inch wheel, and is now pulling a 60' of 1.61, and is running 11.7's... I do not know if he noticed mph change from raising it back up...

I'll make a slow motion vid of your truck launching tonight Bryan. I think I have a good side profile. Definitely have the rear view on video, not sure how much you can tell from the rear.
