cal-tracs need to get some things worked out around my rear end to determine how good they work.

Caltracs and they work great. Worth every dime IMO.

Any preload on your cal-tracs? How are you setting your cal-tracs? Just wondering? Thanks

1/2 a turn pass zero lash just by eyeballing it.
i need to try them with a big gap in between them.

there's an old guy here with a mid 80's swb, sbc, stock leafs, rancho's, decent size slicks, and caltracs. he leaves a big gap in between them pulling high 1.4 60' with the front wheels way up in the air.
