ryanneugebauer95 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have a 2wd vmax. It's creeping up on 100k miles still on the stock shocks. I need something that will help with traction as much as possible. I don't have a clue about how to fix my traction problem so I was hoping some of y'all could help me learn lol. I'm open to any suggestions. I watched a cammed and stalled 2wd tbss launch the other night and it left me spinning at the light, it just squatted and went. I have no clue what I need to do to get mine like that. Any help here guys! I need shocks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyrick562 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 A lot of people run beltech shocks and as for the launch probably running caltracs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 (edited) Bilstein imo. But a lot do like the Belltechs and like stated Caltracs will help a lot. Edited March 16, 2013 by 03mass (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanneugebauer95 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Do y'all have a part number for either if those? Would strapping my front end help any? I just need traction I know Caltracs would help a lot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Caltracs prob would be your bet. It's hard sometimes to get them to stick. I also run belltechs but Awd helps l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) I would go with the Bilstein HD's as I have not tried the 5100 series but had the HD's on another vehicle I owned, I will be adding HD's to my SS and maybe a 2/2 drop Belltech components, but will keep the Bilstein shocks with the 2/2 drop. http://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/20A54612A1.aspx Edited March 18, 2013 by 03mass (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 after doing these trucks for now over 10 years the sss by far on the ones ive done the new belltech sp shocks with rear djm swaybar is the best bang for the buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar1026 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm looking at the Belltech SP. Where is the best place to shop for these shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
