I can vouch that adding a 1" spacer 'tween axles and spring will hit the tyre harder and increase axle rotation. Top hole on front bracket always hits harder so much that it will likely "wad up" a std bias ply. Front travel is also important on how it hits, less front travel will cause porpoising (load and unload of the rear) but this is also dependant upon Hp/Torque and weight. Tubes and Stiff sidewalls will help but my Caltrac setup works great on Radial tyres. This is what has happened on my car, in a nutshell as I've been running Caltracs since 2001. Though your results may vary grin
