so i had some 28-10.5-15 mt et drags i wanted to try i knew they would be to tall NA but thought hell i might just get a front whell or two up so i tried them anyways.
well first launch i dropped at 6k and it poped the fronts about 4in![Nod](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_nod.gif)
i was so pumped. well i stayed in it and when in 3rd it felt alittle weird like the tires were way out of balance so i let out
and ended up with a 1/8mile of like 7.5ish at 88 and my best before was (in my sig) high 7.3 at 98 so i know i could have gotten close to 10s ![Bang Head](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_banghead.gif)
well tried two more times at 6.5k and both times it almost jumped into the right lane ( i was in the left) i stayed in in the first time and when i hit second it jumped so hard it kicked me sideways almost lost it and hi thte wall.
third time it jumped very bad and i just costed the rest of the way.
i got a vid ill try and get up if it can last time i tried it never worked.
im not sure it i got a poroblem with one of the lower control arms there SPOHN HEIM HEIMs and maybe a heim went bad
or if the drag slicks are that much more i dont know what and i need a drag bar?
i have used ET streets before and this it the first time it has ever drated to the right like this any idea would be great thanks everyone

Your left rear tire is getting more traction than the right rear and pushing the car right. Which means that your car is unloading (squating) on the pass side rear. A quick fix is an air bag in the RR spring or like the above a roll bar. -Mark

Kind of hard to tell really from the video but I would lean more to the out of the groove scenario. If it continues to be a problem then it's in need of an anti-rollbar to plant both tires equally.
