airbar and drag racing

cs xtreme · 08-26-2008, 10:51 AM

Does anyone drag race with the airbar? how does it do?
I'm looking at getting one but more from the stand point of it being a tri-link.
also how well does it handle?

Wheel hop will be an issue for ya. Even with some adjusting, I was never able to totally eliminate it, on mine.

I have a v8 and have some wheel hop issues I have made it better but I still have to change pinion a bit still. If thebags are over extended or under extended there may be issue with wheel hop. I talked to ART about this issue already and the length of the bags is very important. they say 9 - 9.5 inches total. Just my 2 cents.

and they also did recommend the adjustable shocks. They say if just streeting the truck and want a bit betetr ride the single will be ok. But if really getting on it then they recommend the double adjustable they offer. More of my 2 cents
