Traction bars from Lightning Force Performance or Cal-Tracs would be the way to go. Is you Lightning a gen1 or 2?

I've never tried them, but I've heard those cal-tracs work great.

Depends on if you are talking street or track.
Street just do not leave so high on the boost.
Track here is what I found works the best caltracs or competition engineering slide a links. You might want to also change your shocks to QA1's. They are 12 way adjustable and can help with weight transfer. Also disconnect your front sway bars if you have them. These are all tricks that I use on my truck though I have a nitrous dakota and not a supercharged lighting but I pull 1.6's all the time for 60 footers

It's a Gen 2. This is only going to be a street truck. The thing is I'm trying not to hurt ride quality, but help with it too. The truck sits at stock height. I run an extra 5-6 psi over stock. Heard the slide a link is more for strip though. I'll check out those Cal Tracs. Thanks all.
