Traction

Man do I need some traction help. I used to run SureTrak bars which are common for off road but i took them off to put on air bags. I guess I could move the air bags over and go back to the bars but I might need something more serious. Think 510 ft/lb starting at about the flash point on my converter.
Something that doesn't ruin the ride/handling would be nice. Any advice out there? i think I'm wasting at least a half second on my 1/4 time.

Cal-tracs or slide-a-links. Seen some really fast street/strip cars running these and they work great. I will be ordering some Cal-tracs soon for myself

Need way more detail on the current suspension set up and whole combination.

Details, like engine, tranny, gearing, tires, launching speed, current shock and spring set up, weight if known, intentions with the truck (street squirell, street strip, strip) and budget.
