The Vikings are on the rear? which model? What are you running up front?
I was struggling the end of last year to hook, but I am running 90/10's up front and rancho's in the rear full tight. My front rises very quick, but i could probably use more control in the rear too. Viking Crusader AM series on rear , QA1 single adjust on front . I had ranchos on rear before , Vikings are night and day difference . Feels smoother plus view from outside shows not as abrupt lift/rise from car . I may have just lucked on a good setting after talking to Viking who were very helpful. Don't forget I am running radials . Tex

Thanks! I'm running radials as well, on a marginally prepped track... I'll give Viking a call. Congrats on hitting the .50's!

Front end jumps up quick...try stiffening up your front shocks next time out.
