Ya, you def want to get that peg leg sorted out. Beginning of the yr I was pulling 2.0 60' because of that and my suspension consisted of 620's, reg front shocks, Lakewood cheap traction bars, and old old worn out rear springs.
Last night got a personal best in Redding with a 1.49 60'. 26x8.5" tires also. Here is a good vid to show ya off the line how mine is working now.
