Default I have traction problems need help please.

I have 4.10 gears with very moddest mods and a 18inch tire 255/45/18x9 and see products but haven't a clue on what brand to purchase or what to purchase to help with the traction. I have heard of lower control arms, panbar, and other things but love to hear what you could recommend. Please help willing to spend 600 dollars on parts and labor. Forgot to mention I have a standard tranny.

wider sticker tires if your rims will take them. i think tires are one of the most important parts of traction and folks tend to think suspension first. one of these other guys may feel differently. i have good luck with nitto 555's, not that you cant burn them down if you want to or get stupid with the throttle. i really wanted nt05's but at the time they were backordered. that is what i will replace the 555's with unless soemthign better comes along.

i think 9" wheels can go 275 if i am not mistaken. 275/40-18 would be what to get. hit one of the AM folks for the code if you dont have it, youve certianyl got enough posts to qualify. they have good prices and the discount makes it better.
