You are pulling a 1/7 on stock suspension now? I would say say you are on the cusp of what that 10 bolt will handle.

im having some hopping problems at the track but this was in the track in houston and in the track in san antonio i would be just fine. I don't know if it has to do with the track prep or what? I also spin sometimes, but no bogging. What should i do?
