Default Traction Problems

So does anyone have any suspension mods or advice to help keep traction. What would be the best upgrade to get besides U/L control arms?

What tires are you running? I couldnt hook for anything with street tires. I got a set of drag radials and it makes a world of difference hooking up. I can dump the clutch at 4 grand and not spin as bad now as I did when I dumped it at 2500 on stock tires.

I have heard the new Mickey Thompson drag radials are the best thing running!

Agree totally on the Mickeys, also try drag shocks (lakewoods are good), Battery relocation. What DR's are you using? Remember also, Even with a good DR if you are running a street tire pressure like 30 or 35 and not heating the tires (especially on a cool night) DR's will even spin and more so if they are NITTOs.
