Hi,

Im curious how I can find out what stagger I should be running on my race car, 3link solid rear axle, locked rear end.

Can I go by tire temperatures to find out my optimal stagger? Im trying to find another way to figure out what stagger i need other then measuring the track.

It all depends on your track .Ask around. Stagger usually isn't a secret UNLESS no one has it figured out.

Stagger has to work with springs, tire pressures, and all the other parts of the suspension. Tire temps won't help that much if you're way off. I usually just keep going up on the stagger until it gets too loose. Depending on track conditions, the stagger you need can change from one race to the next. You can have the right stagger, but it won't help if you're spring selection is wrong.
