Are you sure its your rear end and not your tires and suspension? I'm not claiming to now much about racing, but it seems like with a 3in. drop you'd have to run pretty stiff springs which allows less weight to be transferred to the back which would in turn cause traction problems. What do you have done to your rear end now? or is it the stock 7.5?

 

nah its the tires and the stock 7.5 with open diff. if i can get a 8.8 and throw some nice wide tires on it ill be golden

 

what is the best method to launching an auto trans?

 

pre loading, get staged then go to neutral, give the engine a few good revs so you have a vacuum built up and can press the brake down harder then back into 1st and give her as much gas as you can before the tires start to spin. on the 3rd yellow dropped the brake and give it a lil more gas and once you moving floor it.

 

cant i just leave it in drive since i have the tuner? it wont shift till over 5,000 rpm with the tuner as it is.

another quick question= how much torque should i torque down my lug nuts too. i have a torque wrench for 20-250 flbs.

 

100 ft lbs ..

 

x2 ^ book says 70 but 100 safer

 

Is there a way to tell without one of those digital wrenches? Excuse my ignorance.

 

yea put a 4-way on it and just crank it till it wont turn nemore. and myne isnt electric, it is a micro adujusing one, just pull on it till it clicks, this bitch is huge. i bought it in canada this summer for life 49 bucks and its a half inch

 

it dont gotta be digital. the old style click type tith the settings work too. i really dont care what the book says i personally torque all cars to 100 and trucks and suvs to 110
