Hey guys

i bought a maximum motorsports rear lower control drag race arms and ford racing upper control arms for the simple fact i wanted to be rid of my quad shocks. But after in stalling them both and taking off the quads i went to the track with street tires and upon launching i got ungodly wheelhop, it was so bad i had to get totally off the throttle. I checked and no bushings are shot and everything checks out O.K. So does anyone have any sugestions about whats wrong or what i need to add in order to get rid of my quad shock..... this is really getting irritating.

Thanks alot
Ben

Did a '60s conversion eh ...

Sounds like your springs and shocks are not matched with the susp mods.

There is not enough resistance.
