Drag racing struts for 1/8 mile asphalt?

[Spider/Paleface513]

Where do I buy drag racing struts at ? Or do any of y'all custom fab them up I wanna hit the 1/8 mile local strip and see what happens. Stock gearing 20/11/9 tires. Don't know anything about strapping down the front so.

Preddy used some home depot angle iron to run his, I'll see if I can find his thread for you.

Thanks brother!!

I had powdercoater make me a set front and rear adjustable struts. However i think preddy's idea is awesome and whole lot cheaper,good job preddy

[Spider/Paleface513]

one my dudes over at Raptorforum.com made me some they're none adjustable. I think they're like the ones preddy made. Is there any tips anyone could give me. It's my first run on a drag strip with no shocks if I wheelie really hard could I bend frame coming back down hard or will tires prevent that trying to launch at 1/3-1/2 throttle is that safe stock gearing tires duro scorchers 20/10/9's anyone have estimated times and mph's

betting he meant to bold, or italicize it.

awful nice post to cross it all out.

If i had to do it, I would make them the way preddy did them. easy cheap, quick to remove.

Yeah that was a FERK up. I was working off an iPhone with touch screen hit wrong icon and it was over didn't feel like retyping at the time so could anyone read it? Is there any advise. RF has me on probation for making fun of duners it was a little controversal I can say but didn't think people would be so sensitive.

That thing wont lift on pavment if you lower it enough. heres apicture of mine with struts on it just a few months ago. and dont make funof my mohawk its worth 3tenths because the other guy cant stop looking at it a nd saying WTFiswrong with him :rofl:also note once you take it as low as mine is you have to adjust the tie rods because the tires turn way in and you cant drive it

heres a few video's of me spanking a crotch rocket for a short distance and another when it ran a 13.40@90mph my best was 13.32@94.58mph

That's good to here. I'll try it at a couple different heights.

13 in eye to eye works good for the front as well as the rear depending on arm length/ link setup  and design,,,,\\

1 in square aluminum tubing with a few spacers got the job done nicely!

[Spider/Paleface513]

I got the struts already need to install I've tried waiting on my duro scorchers to come in. I'm using stock everything but the rear axle it's lsr axcaliber +1/+4. Stock link and all in rear. I believe these are 11 eye to rear and 12 front. Spacers you talking like washers or something? So the one inch square metal can't slide back and forth?
