Footballs/Bags for Pedders

I am away from home for 2 weeks and have another event approaching for when i get back

Has anyone successfully found a Football or Drag Bag that fits inside the Pedder springs?

Used to run PeeWee footballs in my stock springs and they worked awesome

Now with Pedders i am squatting way to much on launch

Measure the height and inside diameter of the pedders with the car on the ground then call Air Lift. They will tell you which bag will work for you. You will most likely have to trim back the bump stops to make room for the air line at the top of the bags

Stops the car from transferring weight to the rear and unloading the front suspension on launches = better traction

Do footballs make cornering suck and reduce dd comfort?

D-mac. I am going to try putting footballs in my rear springs, as soon as my new wheels arrive. I was looking on walmart's sight and noticed there are 2 different size pop warner sizes: Junior and Mitey Might. Which size did you use? I am guessing Mitey Mite?

Good look with the air lift, hope all goes well.

btw: everyone I had this crazy idea, what if I ordered another set of pedder front springs and put them in the rear (no homo). Would that be essentially the same effect as adding air lift bags or footballs?
