I have done a lot of research and it seems upgrading my LCA would help fix this?

Looking for suggestions/advise.

Thanks!
The Pirelli's on my Boss, although, they are (Y) rated, still are not good from a dig. No traction if I take off above 1800 rpm. Also, extreme performance tires do not work well in cold weather.

Where are you? if it's under 45*; then forget about running it hard. When drag racing I use Mickey Thompson Drag Radials. I've also added a number of suspension mods that help (check my sig).

However, last night (35*) a friend wanted me to take him out in the car and see how it performed. 1-2 shifting (not power shifting) at 7000, we went about 40* (which I knew would happen) This is with TC off. Under 45*, Summer tires= no traction.

+1 on the advice about "full throttle".

Did you get just the Panhard Bar from KB or the whole thing that lowers the roll center by dropping the whole assembly? You are the first person I have seen that has gotten anything from KB and would like your assessment before I go that route instead of the norm from another company.

This is the Panhard Bar.
http://store.kennybrown.com/product/...-302-and-gt500

It's all good and works great with other items on the suspension. We were going to order a Griggs, but my installer (Loran Keller opentrackconnection.com) had this on his shelf and said it would do the job, so we used it and no complaints.

Hope this helps.

Okay, so you just got the bar. I was thinking you got the relocation kit which is this.

Did they also drop the PHB so that it crosses the diff lower than stock?

How wide? I have 305 drag radials waiting for me in the basement. I hope that will help.

Wider isn't better. The sidewall is what's important.

As long as they're significantly better than the stock 255 pirellis I'm happy
