It's all in the rear suspension and tires, as prevously mentioned. Ladder bars or a four-link would be a wise decision (4-link being the best simply becuase you can adjust them).

And, if worse comes to worse, throw a couple hundred pounds in the bed and be done with it, lol.

i drive an sonoma, and am having a hard time deciding what to do...get a car, or throw a v8 in the noma? i think this thread helped me out quite a bit...a sleeper truck would be kickass...i think trucks do make good drag cars. just need a little lovin.

Trucks can definitely be made fast And there's nothing like the look on a vette or cobra owner's face when you go cruising past them Like others have said, you do need to address the suspension, because it's still a truck. I have the full Hotchkis kit with QA1 adjustable drag shocks, I love it, handles better than most sports cars I've driven.
