How soft are the rear springs now?

Does she want to squat on the rearend when you give it gas?

If so you may want to keep that "rake" (angle of the truck) to help keep it from squatting too hard and bottoming out on the frame or bumpstops. Thus causing rear axle hop.

Yeah but burnout and launch are two diffrent things, look at a burnout vid then compare that to a car taking off at the line and you will see what I mean.
