wheel spinning and tires off the ground???
I really didnt think this was possible but my wife caught it on video, the tires are spinning but the fronts came off the ground about 2 inches, So here is my question for you guys, I have a 9 inch and qa1 (10) adjustable shocks on the back and a set of strange (12) adjustables on the front what are you guys running your shocks at?

do you have lca relocation brackets? if so what hole is the lca in? what were your shock settings? what torque arm? what front springs? what size et drags and what does your car weigh? the more info you can provide the more we can help. im sure we could get you going in the right direction.

Yes I have the relocation brackets from spohn, in the bottom hole, BMR tubular LCAs, and adjustable panhard, BMR welded in subframe connectors, I have the 300 springs on the front strange shocks, and the stock springs on the rear of the car. tires are 26x11.50x16. I have the quick performance rear end with a full spool and 3.75 gears, and a rk motorsports adjustable T/A I am running about -1.5 degrees pinion angle. I am not sure of the weight of the car as I have not had it on a scale, it is a 98 T/A with full interior and nothing removed for weight . I did move the battery in the trunk to help weight transfer though. Another thing was when The car did hook it has a terrible bog before it gets going, I have been told the bog is that a standard trans thing, I have never had my automatics do it.
I tried my shock settings at 4-6 on the rears and 2 on the front. I dump the clutch at 5k. when the car leaves it goes straight.
That video is me leaving on the spray. I fought this stupid suspension all night trying to get it right, really never did so any help will be appreciated.

Mine does similar... I am going to try and tighten the front shock up next time out just for ***** and giggles. My car jerks the tires up fast and sets them back down just as fast. So I'm thinking if I tighten it up it may have to work harder to pull the front end up, but it should carry out better keeping the rear tires loaded.

mine used to do the same thing.. I just had the car scaled and adjusted and it seemed to cure most of it. With driver I was 157lbs lighter on the right rear than the left. Now I just need to dial in these DA shocks.

He is getting 100% weight transfer (as long as the p/s tire comes up also). The problem is that it is snatching them up and it needs to slowly rise and fall at a straedy rate of speed. Once the front tire comes off the ground all it can do is come back down unloading the rear end. Tightening the front shocks should slow down the rise keeping the rear loaded.

you could try moving the lc'a up a hole in the relocation brackets, also try tightening up the front shocks. remember to only change one thing at a time so you know if it improves you know exactly what made the change. also make small adjustments. getting your suspension dialed in may take some time but in the end its all worth it. i have to fine tune mine and next track outting i will probably just make passes to the 330' mark til i got it dialed in. dont want to beat the car up the whole quarter mile just trying to get the suspension working right. plus you use less nitrous that way.
