New AGX shock setting for drag racing?
Finally got my new shocks.

Also got the rear camber adjust bar. I'm assuming with the IRS I'd want the rear shocks set to max stiff and front to max soft when drag racing? What would you all suggest?

Yes - and if you have not already done it, replace all the suspension grommets with really stiff ones to control wheel hop.

i would probably start in the middle and work down softer but it depends how much power you are putting down and if the shocks are bottoming out or not. soft as possible without bottoming is what you want.

Conventional wisdom dictates that you want it set up that way.
I've had the quickest 60' times when setting all my Tokico's to soft.

Never had wheel hop. Pushing 500ft lb of torque... I bottom out instantly on the factory shocks. I'd been useing rubber spacers on my springs to help out.

even on the softest setting the AGX's are no where near as soft as the stock struts to give you an idea of the difference.
