Have you scaled the car? What are your corner weights? How are your lowers set up? Do you have any preload on your ARB? What front/rear springs? Front strut setting? Rear shock setting? Any limiters? There are a lot of variables that we use to setup a car. It IS possible to set up a car to 60' hard and not kill the sidewall as much but it is just the nature of the beast that tires will not last you that long at your torque level at your weight.

1- never scaled car
2- dont know
3- laddr bar suspension
4- zero preload in arb
5- strange up front set on #5
6- yes have limiters , but disconected them for that launch
7- double adjustable rears ...have to ck ... i think they are all in the center
8- rears are 1 1/2 old with 50-60 passes on them

I'm sorry. I thought we were talking stock suspension.

New sicks (sidewalls are dead), limit the front, more air, stay with that shock setting. back looks really good now knowing it is ladder bar.

Stay away from those damn W's. lol cheers

should i limit the front via stiffening the shocks or should i install the limiters a notch ?

If you have both, use both.

Each helps to control front end rise, but in different ways. One controls the total extension travel, the other controls the total speed at which the extension travel happens.
