Front end hop when pulling???
Hey Guys-

Just looking for a little info or advice on my truck.

yesterday I put the 2nd hook on the truck as a demo because on its first run I was getting some bounce from the front end in the first 75 feet and wanted to see if it happened again.

Well, this time it was smooth comming out of the hole but at around 150 feet it started again but I just stayed into it. The track pretty much sucked (Loose Dirt track with hard stuff down about 3-4") but was pretty ruff for everyone.

Im thinking I probably should add another shock or even two per side of the axle to try to cure this. In the truck it was actually a fairly smooth ride as you will see from the video that the actually body isn't bouncing...just the axle.

The suspension is pretty much custom on the truck as I am running a Dodge D60 with a set of 05+ Ford Trailing arms from a F350. I am thinking its the super long trailing arms and only running the one shock because there was an 07 Ford F250 that pulled (it was totally stock) and his axle was doing the exact same thing the whole way down the truck)

Anyway, here is the video YouTube - Orangeville Truck Pull 07 ...what do you think?
