First, post a picture of your front end CV's and how much angle they have.


Do you DD the truck? I had HD tie rods and cognito braces on my previous 2 dmax's, but went with a straight centerlink and sleeves with my regular cab and it feels much stronger. I can leave at 15psi and break all 4 tires loose and steering wheel doesn't move an inch.


First step would be lower the torsion bars all the way down (if stock)

Mine does this to. I'm lowered all the way down. What psi are you leaving at? My truck only likes 10-13psi launches. Might try strapping the front end down. I'm gonna try some stiffer shocks on mine.

Judging by the Cognito A-arms, I'm guessing you have the front end cranked up?

T bar bolts removed and Merchant sleeves with otherwise stock steering. I launch as hard as I want with no issues.
