Well, there are a few remedies. I am no suspension, racing nor automobile specialist, but I do know that if you have no weight transfer to your rear tires, then you have no traction available, and without that, you get no hook.
SO, I wish so bad that I could remember what I saw on "trucks!" the other day. there is a company that offers a bladder with 4 or 5 seperate sections in it. It fits in your bed (specefic models) and you fill each bladder with water. Fully filled it will add around 500 evenly spread lbs I believe. It also can support 300lbs of payload, pull a plug and deflate when you're done.
If you don't want that, you can go with ladder bars, traction bars, or a 4-link (among other set-ups). Seeing as how 4-links are a little drastic for what you want, I would recommend traction bars or ladder bars. From what I have read, the traction bar is a cheap and temporary fix, but I do have a buddy running 11.9 @ 113 in a Dakota with traction bars. But guess what his problem is, traction.
I do not hope you make a purchase off of my recommendations, but I do hope that you take what I have given you, along with what others say about my post, and do some quality research. I think if you know your stuff, you will feel a lot more comfortable making the purchase. Impulse buying off of what one person says is what I would think is a big no-no in the automotive hobby area.Father and son working to turn a '64 Falcon into a street and track monster.
