If your all stock back there you need to upgrade. I do too, I'm working on that. Get some upper and lower control arms, thats a good start. I dont even hook with drag radials. I'm just not sure what control arms to use, doing research first.

How do you like the UPRs, I was going to go that route. Are they real noisy?

You must have gotten the ones with the bushings? Are yours adjustable?

So could you tell a difference because it still seems like your having problems hooking. I need to buy some, I just want to make sure I make the right choice.

if you want some really good ones, to make sure it'll stick to the ground go with the lakewood traction bars, replaces your lower control arms. i want to go with those but dont really have the money.

I have a set of southside lift bars a buddy gave me for free, I'm going to try those. I'm scared of ripping up my torque boxes, not sure if I want to reinforce them right now. Still need some uppers though.

weight in the hatch area will help a bit, i would say change the shocks, if they are bad, the torque wont transfer properly and you end up spinning

that might be a good idea also, i have no clue if these shocks are bad, i just picked them outta my uncles shop and put them on. do you know of a good kind to use? i also need some news springs, the front ones have been cut a lil for drag.

Adjustable upper and lower control arms, anti roll bar and tires. Flip it over.
