Check Out That Chassis

I have a ‘76 Chevy truck set up on ladder bars and coil over and when I leave line the truck hooks up then bounces the rear tire on the ground. I tried 7 to 20 pds of air pressure in tires, I tried to stiffen and soften on the rear shocks with no results. My pinion angle is set at 5 degrees upward, what do you recommend on pinion angle?

Brandon,

I would try pushing the pinion down to 0 or even 1 degree down, this will help apply load and I would also try moving the front of the ladder bars down some this will take some of the hit out of the bars. Then you can control the hit with the shock valving.
