drag springs? tube k member if you wanna spend the money and time.

does your 9inch have adj. control arms?
settings will depend on your Percentage of rise(PR) to acheive ideal instant center (IC)

i run 3 on front and 8 out back on mine. hooks pretty hard on street tires.

Ive got'em too, not to steal your post but I have a question about them, I have lowering springs up front, would those springs limit the travel of what the struts are made to do??

the struts should still be able to fully extend even with lowering spring with the front end totally unsprung. however it'd be tough to do that since they dont have stored energy ilke drag spring. so you'd be able to tune for autox but your spring dont help you for weight x-fer from front to rear.
