Search high and low before some rear spring blocks before you go back. Sticker tires will make traction worse, due to the *** end squatting and pulling the front end up.

Remove as much weight from the rear *** possible too. Keep the front heavy!

Have you done the free dog bone bushing nod. To me it sounds like the trans guy only tuned the car to be safe with the rebuilt trans. Ie shift points and such. Or is that just my imagination

I've been looking for some spring blockers , a while back CentexSS was going to sell me some but he never replied back.
I actually like my DRs over the Micket Thompson ETs I had.

wouldnt some spring air bags work? id think you fill those things up you would stiffen up the rear alot. I know it sure helps to keep rear wheel drive cars from squating.
