The Bounce is Gone! Thanks for all the help with Idea's!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to all those that gave me idea's and had opinions on the masive amount of axle hop I was experiancing with my truck. Last weekend I added two 90-10 Drag Shocks to the front axle(in front of the axle) and I had 2 more pulls this weekend on similar tracks to my first two pulls and both pulls were as smoth as can be. Last night was on a nice clay track and when I let go of the clutch at 4800rpm and blew out the tires the front end jumped up (just the frame...not the axle) as the suspension unloaded from the 90-10 shocks and then it settled back down over the rest of the pull.

Here is the video from last night, Pulled 311ft and could have again kept going. Closest truck was 279 which was my brother...I need some competition up here!!!! as I have yet to have the sled actually stop me instead of the flag man.

Thanks again to all...RyanB
