[The Blue Pig]

Actually, when the torque is transmitted to the rear end, you dont want your vehicle to squat. The vehicle squatting is putting less pressure on the slicks than a vehicle who's rear end shoots up at torque time. If you have say a 4-link, or even the stock leafs, you have an instant center line from your leaf spring eyelet mount, and you have an imaginary nuetral center line on your chassis. If your instant center is above your neutral line, then your vehicle will raise in the rear, giving you optimum traction. And if your instant center is below your neutral line (most common), your vehicle will squat, which is actually your rear end trying to leave the ground, since it cannot, the suspension squats. When the rear end raises on a launch, you are putting maximum planting force to the rear end for the best traction. looks can be decieving...
