Nice Vid, but at 57 sec the sliders bottom out and you can see the axel get lifted up nearly off the pavement. That's the purpose of these vids is to see this kind of stuff. Looks like the slider brackets need to go another inch forward or so. Better shock control could help or Fix it as well. Edit: Also right rear/rim or axel may be bent, slight wheel wobble going on. No biggie though.

From the angle of the video it is hard to see for sure but it looks like the slider needs more forward travel. You have a lot of room at the back. Is that how Calvert recommends to install them? Is this a street strip car?

I would start looking at better shocks to control the rear better . ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Id would agree I would be looking for a shock with more extension valving for sure. As for the slider question, it looks like they are running out of travel but a simple zip tie on the front will answer that question.

I would start looking at better shocks to control the rear better . I would agree although I went a foot breakin 1.33 60 ft. w/slicks on 5-way Rancho's a while back but now run Shiloh's Vikings and have been a 1.34 60 ft pulling the ft up 2'on QTP's street tires. Better shock controll made my car come alive and hooks on the street now and my slider boxes are biased towards the rear and never bottom out in either direction............... If you locate the shocks to be more straight up than angled it may help even more cos it made a BIG difference on my Dart........

I would say helps give some side to side stability.. helps the suspension to react Freer and faster... lowers the car. I wish I could say reduces weight but that would be a lie..

Hey Jim, Tightening the shocks must have helped! Congrats on the win.
Thanks!
