Re: Make it handle

It was one of the most eye opening experiences I've had with the truck and I have learned so much from getting my butt kicked. The added anti-squat has seemingly made the front and rear suspension unbalanced and was causing the truck to dive to the outside front tire which was giving me traction issues out back. The hard to understand part is that adding anti-squat reduces roll but it was causing more roll on the front end. The front springs I have now are an 1100 lb rate, 85 lbs heavier than factory according to CPP, and the front of truck is very soft. Hotchkis has some 1400 or 1500 lb springs that would work but I don't know if I will see gains due to the rest of the truck being stock. I've got access to scales at work, I'll dig through my pictures to see if I have a shot of when I put the truck on the scales.
