Thread: hooking up!

Tweet

Some of the reasons a truck won't hook up is that the suspension is designed to carry a load, and not for weight transfer. With the motor set so far forward in a pickup it is tough to get them to hook up. A Posi would help a lot, along with some softer springs and poly bushings in the trailing arms that will allow the suspension to move more freely. Playing with the coil spring rates and the shocks on the rear will also help. Front shocks designed for weight transfer would also be something to consider.........

Softer compound tires and lower air pressure is the easiest and cheapest fix..... You could also try an air shock on the right rear to preload that side. Adjusting the air pressure will sometimes help the left tire to hook up better and make the open rear think it's a posi.
