you need some BFG DR's....

that would change the out some. I bet you have a ton of wheel hop too, you need some suspension parts too.

Get some 50/50 lakewoods back there and a 12 bolt/9" and some BFG's. The lakewood 50/50's and quad shocks on my car with other rear susp. components being 100% stock prevent wheelhop. I have never had an issue with it.
