better than yours. Ben also has a really strong steering setup that would allow less movement than what you have in the centerlink.

your angles arent really that horrible. you should be able to get away with a 5psi launch and rolling into the throttle. if you cant, you have some worn parts

well thats alot of the issue. lift one tire and check the idler/pitman arm for play. ill bet you get some movement in them. just putting new ones on wont solve all the issue unless you put a nice centerlink under it or a good brace (not cognito braces by them selves)

Sorry James, i was just being smart ass. My truck is always de cranked with a few degrees of sag when I launch it.

However, I have a few pics of it leaving the line and the UCA is almost on the bump stops. I think limiting straps would be a wise choice to save the front end. I have had my truck go crazy a few times when doing 12+psi launches. I'll see if I can find the pics.

Found them

bringing this thread back up. I hate not being able to do a boosted launch at a stop light when a dodge or ford guy is messing with me. any more pictures of a lowered 4 inch lift and some 33 inch tall tires?

Danzick- I have launched with angles similar to yours. I didn't break anything but it gets a little hairy. I too am eventually going with a setup like HotCoCoal
