The Shop Truck

1971 Chevy C20 with a custom flat bed.
Putting a spool in it would make it horrible on the road, that's not an option. I know I've put more load on a 14 bolt ARB than I did on the Truetrac that I have in this one with no issues. I already have onboard air and I can just have the ECU engage it when I push the race mode button.

I've driven my regal on the road with a spool for probably 15 years now. Maybe you've tried it and you didn't like it, but I find it to be not a big deal at all.

Have you driven a spool on the street before with a 2WD drag vehicle?

The rear end started having issues in Michigan. It did the same thing where it spun the right wheel only on a launch at Ubly.
Shocks - QA1 double adjustable

The clickers on the QA1 shocks might as well not even be there, they don't have enough actual damping control or real user range. I prefer Afco double adjustable for the money. Yeah there are much more expensive options but Afco gets the job done for a decent price and it will actually make a real difference when you adjust it.

Anti Roll Bar - 1-3/4" chromoly from Rhodes Race Cars.
The only preload is the crane in the rear left corner :D
I will put a drag axle under the next rig I build, this one is keeping 8 lug.

Well you have a 4 link and an anti roll bar, some good shocks and you could really get it dialed to hook.

You running radials or bias slicks?

Obviously get the axle fixed first but if you can't get it to hook the QA1 shocks are the only bottleneck in your setup.
