Squatting is good.... thats weight transfer which plants the tires to the pavement = traction

anyway it was just a comment, i make enough $ i can buy drag shocks & springs new out of the catalog. a matter of fact i could probably buy everyone on this forum shocks/springs.

Vin good luck on the 29th and pm me if you need anything in a pinch.
the rear axle should be a pivot point, it should not squat. i have 12 way adjustables with it set almost as firm as it will go, i understand that you mean weight transfer when you say squat, but squating means the back tires tucking up in the wheel wells, and its NEVER GOOD. you want the front to lift and the rear to stay firm.

btw no one cares how much money you make.
