Alright i've been trying to figure out what caused my car to do this. I put the 315s on with a sticky tire and my car started have problems and one of them was this. Click the video to check it out.

car sounds good

i would say your quad shocks are toast

get some new control arms (pro3 makes a nice set) and either replace or ditch ur quad shocks

The quad shock is gone. We couldn't get the back on after the 315s. Its weird to cause i start leaving tire marks after i put it in second when i started going side ways. Yea i like the way it sounds too.

Nuhh i haven't done that! I was going to do a whole rear end but had to pay for other things. That is why the car sat all year.

Your friends are right. Watch your rearend, you might snap an axle.

When money permits, upgrade to 31 spline axles, and differential (have to get the posi in order for the axles to work). You can get an explorer posi off ebay for cheap, or eaton makes some nice pieces as well. For axles, I've heard good things about frpp, moser, and strange.

I would lay off redline clutch dumps for now

Agreed. I've got the spherical bearings on both sides of my MM LCA's (instead of poly on one side) and the tires stay planted... even though I still can't hook up.. kumhoamnit:

My buddy works for strange and he is going to get me everything i need. He was there that day and he was like,"soon as it breaks we'll get you a 9" cheapppp!!!!" I don't know what is cheap but i might just have him build my 8.8.

As for my shifting my friend is always messin around with me saying," i shift of the rev limiter. "Its not that i try to its just sometimes the car just spins and i'm done with the gear before i know it. If i get it hooking out the hole i won't hit the rev limiting. I'm going to have to get a MSD two step<i think that is what its called> it retards timing/kills power when i hit the rev limiting so i don't blow the motor.

if it truly is cheap, i would just get the 9" and be done with it. that way you'll know its going to take whatever the hell you throw at it

Well your right but its pretty heavy. If i was going to run 9s with the War Horse i'd do it but i'll most likely just get my 8.8 built up. I think 9" run for 2100-2500 dollars i might save maybe 300-500 dollars with the hook up.
