weight Transfer

Ok every one uses belltec drop shackels for weight transfer on our trucks,, I believe the purpose is to drop the back end slightly to add more weight to the rear, thus more traction .. Is that correct ..............

Then why not remove some leafs from the springs, has any one tryed this HuH.........

You would promote wheel hop if doing so. Stock springs are designed for a purpose, please don't go messing with them.

If you want weight transfer, go with rear lower control arms/slapper bars and (at the strip) remove the front sway bar. Then she'll bite.

Drop shackles will help weight transfer, but traction bars will benefit you more. They provide lift to the front of the truck as well.
