and i absolutely have no traction what so ever , i had problems hooking up my 2.73 at times and now this is crazy

any tips of how to get any traction at all? what suspension part would i need to do to keep the traction reasonable? any suggestions are welcome.

Did you read the replys? What tires are you running, that would be a good starting point.

KENDA KAISER KR20 , i am not sure if they are any good but it says "AA" traction on the tires , i am looking for a new pair but not sure which to get.

and would lower control arms a noticeable difference from the stockers?

I'd run BFG or MT drag radials. Since you guys see almost no rain, and with all that power, I'd go with a serious DR.

im pretty sure that traction rating for the tire is talking about wet traction.
i agree, you should go with a DR
