You can't tell me you all haven't screwed with your suspension to try and pull the wheels higher hahaha? I'm mad with my 1.30 60 ft's because I don't pick the wheels up high enough...
Given the information you supplied I'll assume just assume you have a 4 link haha, put the bars in the very bottom holes on the front mounts... That should get you heading in the right direction.

lol. As long as you know pulling the wheels up is not a good thing it is just waisted time like NA$TY-TA mentioned prior to me. Very loose shocks up front and a stiff spring will do it for example a 90-10 shock up front is really loose and will unload very easy causing your front to come up easy. Many people go with 90-10's when they are having alot of problems hooking because it helps transfer weight much better but too much transfer and the front comes up and waisted time. For example many guys in the "drag world" use 60-40's from what I have seen because they dont have time to waist impressing the crowd with a bumper hitting wheelie and plus its expensive when it lands. What I have learned is just start loose up front and soft in rear and stiffen up the rear untill the tire unloads and then soften it up a bit. (squating is waisted effort as well) and tighten up the front untill you have traction issues again. Its all about finding that sweet spot and every car is different. Hope this helps some. And if anyone reads this and find me wrong then fu#$ you.....Just kidding just correct me Im not the brightest apple in the tree
