the long bars were mocked up on my Sierra lol. as for caltracs or long bars though this truck will be stock suspension… im sure suspension mods would help my times but im not really going for the best times anymore, this is gonna be my DD so its pretty much gonna stay stock suspension aside from the shackles. theres guys on PT cuttin 1.6-1.7 60s on just shackles and hangers.
if i remember correctly mine weighed 5200 but that was with me and the wife in it… 4 50lb bags of rocks, the spare, a rear bumper instead of glass rollpan and other things that wouldnt be in there going to the track. my track weight should be down around yours. as for the 400rwhp dunno if ill be there until i do my LS6 heads when i can come up with the money.
btw… Todd you have a fat ass truck hahaha, 4700 for a 88-98 rcsb!!
