This is why you'll always see the right rear tire worn out on cars owned by stoplight wannabees that have an open (non-posi) differential.

Ever since I was a kid, we've been adding a leaf or two to the right rear on leaf spring cars or changing to a longer/stiffer spring on coil-equipped cars to preload the right rear and also to keep the left front down. It became easier with the advent of air shocks. You'd just bolt an air shock on the right rear only and adjust the pressure until you got two equal length black patches.

Yeah, what he said I got it backwards

IT will be interesting to see how your truck reacts to a good set of slicks, a loose converter and a smaller pulley (more boost). Just remember that street and strip are two totally different worlds. I can pack the wheels pretty good at the strip but the street is much less forgiving and traction is limited.

Good Luck!

1---Line up at beginning of track
2----watch christmas tree
3---when light turns green mash accelerator pedal to floor
4---hang on for dear life
