Re: Make it handle
great pict. and right on the mark. Anti Squat is like carb jetting. You want just enough to get a good plant of the tires, too much will waste energy and run slower. With a trailing arm truck, there are only a few ways to do it. I'm going on the assumption (I know) that the truck will stay at it's current ride hieght. 1) move the front trailing arm mount up. You can flip the stock mounts or buy aftermarket. This is the easiest. 2) More work here. Shorten the arms appx 6", use a 'johnny-joint' style pivit ball, move the crossmember back 6", and use adjustable mounts. This is for the serious guys. 3) move the CG down. Lower the motor/trans, and everthing else you can find. BUT, moving the CG back, while helping weight balance, will lower your AS. So, if you move wieght back, you need to raise the IC farther. Sinking in yet?
