Default Problems with Traction

I'm looking into LCAs becuase when I'm in WOT at about 3K+ rpms in 1st my rear tires break away and start to spin. I was looking into adjustable BMR's and was wondering what the advantage of going adjustable is to the boxed set. Later on down the road I'll be upgrading to a 9" rear end but I don't know which rear I'll be going with.



Right now what I have is an '01 SS 6-Speed. All stock except for FTRA, Whisper Lid, 160*T-Stat. Hptuners was used to eliminate skip shift, and lower temps of the Fans, T/B Bypass (Picked up parts at Carquest for 4 dollars).
Sub-Frame connectors are on the way Hopefully

The only reason you would want to use an adjustable lower is if you plan on running a large slick on the rear and don't want to cut the front of the wheel well so that it doesn't hit.

Are you getting wheel hop or just tire spin? If wheel hop, then the LCA's should help out. If you are just getting wheel spin, you need a better tire.
