Re: post latest 1/4 and 1/8 mile times and 60ft.

It spun just a little. I think my trailing arms being a foot shorter than stock helps it plant the tires (used to be a longbed leaf spring truck)

You shortened the trailing arms?
Are they in the factory location (front eyelet) regarding both height and location on the frame?

I was unaware the long beds and shortbeds having different control arm lengths.
