I know it sounds dumb, but, traction bars work wonders.

How stiff are the valves for the rear shocks? Springs load? And traction bars DO work wondrs.

Waitaminute...a 4 point cage? That's it? Weird.

Try dropping in a 9". Solid axles are soooo much better for the drags than IRS (handling is the opposite.)
