Left side lifts more on launch
The left side of my truck (as you would expect) lifts more on launch. I have Caltracs with stock leaf springs and overload spring removed. Stock shocks on the rear, 90/10 on the front. The truck leaves straight as an arrow as far as I can tell. But the left front wheel gets at least 6" more air than the right side. What can I do to help level out the launch without making the Caltracs pull me to one side or the other? I really didn't want to have to add an anti-roll bar. What ya'll think?
'87 S10 stock suspension, Caltracs, 9" rearend, 1.82 Glide, 383 SBC,
Brodix Track1 Heads, 14:1 compression, 180 shot plate,
2" tube Hussler Headers, 1.38 60ft., 6.20 ET 1/8th, 109 MPH,
Still Tuning, more to come.

Re: Left side lifts more on launch
You might be able to cheat and run a air bag to preload the pass side, but it is kinda a crutch. A anti roll bar is the only real solution.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.
Re: Left side lifts more on launch
Do you have ajustable shocks on it? If so you can ajust the shocks to help. Try loosening the passanger side shock and tightening the driver shock. What that does is slows down the left side so it doesn't rise so fast and it speeds up the passanger side so it come up at the same rate as the driver side does. It worked for me.
