we have a clamped up PIERCE mod looking for ideas for traction on dry tracks its scaled all the time with 34%-40% left rear PLEASE HELP thinking maybe a new pullbar will help we are running a progressive spring pullbar 3 years old we have good BP AFCO shocks

Check out my other post as to some old school ideas that work! Traction is not all left rear on one wheel but the combination of both with roll out working on the right as well as a balanced traction with a good rear percent, when rolled to this happy spot! I know that you always should or want more horses but if you can't stand on it, they are of no use! Our traction is to the point of pulling both front wheels but then you can't steer and excessive roll out slows you down in the straights as one must slip to roll or binding up to even roll! A spring perch that moves a little in the right direction is a good thing if not so much as to unload the other side! A solid pull bar should help! A closer to center, top rear pull bar location with a rear slant for the leverage factor can be used with very little bar angle at all, giving minimal movement for added traction! Just lifting is not traction, raise the front of the bar to the point of hard to lift or add rear percent as little and low, rear, left as you can! Taking away right rear bite is wrong when trying to go left freely! Jack the car slowly and watch the birdies fly in two directions! A softer left rear if moving up too much will help the balance with out lifting the weight off of the right! The right has to be compressed as to holding with movement when being lifted by the left or it will be unloaded by the left lifting! Most all set ups has too much to deal with to work effectively! Calming it down will help to grasp a little more right traction and weight of 150 pounds is not even noticed as to the traction it gives making you faster or stopping a quick hike! Jack it up while on the scales to see where traction moves to when lifted or rolled! This will tell the tale on the tail! A most near balance when rolled and lifting should give better traction down to a 25 extra on the left rear! A 200 lb. left rear can roll 100 pounds to the right to be equal! The cross should hold some of it there when rolled! The j-bar angle should be out of this completely as to a traction device and just to hold things in place! A greater right side bar angle that levels when rolled to match the lesser left that gains when rolled will provide two wheel traction as well as steer with out hiking needed on a left leaned car! Give the right side a little more help as most set-ups give it all to the left rear! Left percent, left rear, cross weight, weight transfer, j-bar, trailing arm angle, pull bar location, spring perch movement on one or both sides, the left has it going its way and the right needs more to have even traction only when rolled or to pull straighter down the track with less bind if not on 3 wheels! I prefer the left front to help hold the right cross weight during the roll and torque transfer by means of having it weaker than the right but compressed to the point of never giving up tension or clearing the ground to aide the right rear traction!

Any one finding this to be true for them or did I or you miss something here! Still winning on cars switching over as it did always before! Ask all you need to get a handle on planting the right just by lifting the throttle and not the left side of the car!!!
