i dont think we can run them. cuz the ground force drop kit removed the stock hanger and put their's in. and if you compare to a stock the hanger itself is flipped. i may be wrong.

i have a set of lakewood traction bars on at that moment but im gettin rid of them and gonna make me some longbars. but even without them i dont get any wheel hop. blue cajun told me once to drop the overload leaf to help the rear squat and that should help with wheel hop and launching. you could always just get spring clamps, its cheap its easy and it pull the spring pack together to make them stiffer. there are a wide variety of options to solve this.

I just got off the phone with ground force and calvert racing. You are correct, we cannot use caltracs with the ground force hanger, however calvert racing offers a modified 2" drop hanger that will work. So what I intend to do is order the new hangers and caltracs form calvert racing. This way I can keep the same ride height and get rid of my really bad wheel hop. The Hanger switch should be easy bc it's just bolted in.
