need a little help..

Can't get my car to hook, if I roll it out it seems to do fine once it gets going but it won't take a hard hit off the line. Car has stock torque arm but mounted to crossmember, lca's with lowering brackets (bottom hole), ce rear drag shocks set on 60/40, front sway bar removed. I'm on a 275/50 mt radial with a 15x8 wheel. It feels like the front driver side tire comes off the ground and then the rear brakes loose, also the right rear squats quite a bit. Iv always raced leaf spring stuff so this style of sus is kind of new to me so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty much any track I have been to for opening day or very early in the year, spinning right off the hit sounds about right.

When the track gets seasoned more, that will help a lot.
