Drag racers only: re

[mommasboy]

What suspension set-ups are we using around here?



As i said before, i would like to go for the stock S-10 rear-end record and if it does not exhist i will try to make one that can be challenged. I am now going to be running The Comp. Eng. Slide-a-link adj. track bars, 27x11.5 Hoosier slicks, and adj. drag shocks. What are the other racers running here?

i have a ladder bar set up on one my 92. and the slide a link on my 88. i have friends that run 8.50\'s with thier s10 all day on the stock leafs with a 28 10.5 tire using the slide a link it works great

[mommasboy]

Is the rear end stock?ie gears and housing.

[wickeds10]

in the 88 it is the 7.5 i have a 9 inch for it im just lazy rite now and in the 92 its a 9 inch the truck is tubbed

[wickeds10]

oh yeah the gears r a 3.73 in the 7.5 with a auburn,stock axels

[basementdweller]

12bolt NOT TUBBED! 10\" DOT tire, ladder bar coil-over suspension.

175 shot 8.5 in rear 3.90 posi

275/60/15

ladder links and housing floaters



no 1/4 miles yet



but with same setup minus the nitrous in a 4200 lbs caprice classic i got 13.9 @ 101mph

i decided to remove the rear springs from my blazer,i will be installing ladder bars and air bags,we just did one for a customer he has a 4.3 cpi,700r4 and he hooks hard and sits nice.ok,i know,lightweight is pondering on durability of the rear axle,i just got an 8.5 rear end w/disc\'s,need a posi and new gears.hey it\'s a double duty hauler..

[mommasboy]

But what people dont under stand is that im not pushing the limits of a stock housing. Im trying to push the limits of the whole stock rear end, axels and all. The cover has never been off of it, it\'s still a one wheel peel. To me its not the stock rear end if it has had a set of gears and a posi put in...or even just a set of gears.



I will be adding a set of gears(4.56) and an Auborn posi, or mini spool....after i break the stocker.

i dont believe light weight...if that is his truck in the picture then his rearend isnt stock

it had to be narrowed at least to fit that tire

please clarify

[dunnonuffin]

Why? Why couldn\'t it just have tubs and lots and LOTS of backspacing?

[91s10350]

thats not lightwieghts truck. if you look in his signature he has a 91 s10. that is a 98 or newer.

lightweight i may be wrong but you used to have a pic of your truck in your sig. right?

[mommasboy]

That was not a picture of mine in the sig, that is just a nice truck that makes a good avatar. Yes i do still have the stock rear end believe it or not.

[RON]

JUST THROW A FORD 8.8 UNDER IT AND BE DONE WITH IT. I HAVE A 98 FORD 8.8 REAR WITH DISC FROM EXPLORER DIRECT BOLT IN JUST REWELD LOWER SHOCK MOUNTS. 4.10 AND POSI AND 8.8 IS A STRONG REAR END. http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif

stock rears will hold up to alot more than people think plus it depends on the previous life they lived 10 years of a 4 popper dumping the cluch would do some damage even



by the way i live lightweights pics both of them even thought there not his truck he never tried to say they were

[MOREPOWER]

well i just blew up my rear end today, lasted about 4 months all depends how hard u are on it i guess!

[mommasboy]

Well the only reason i am putting in the 9\'\' ford and tubbing the truck now is because i was made a deal that nobody could refuse. A guy started on a 84 Capri ( which is almost identical to the same year mustangs) and has it back halfed tube chassis which i can fit in my truck pretty easily and a narrowed 9\'\' with ladder bars. Get this, i bought the whole car for $250, then sold Buffhomer the drivers front fender, 10 point cage, racing seat and what ever he wants after im through getting the rear stuff off of it for $100. so i got the back half chassis and complete rear end for $150
