Are you doing these launches at the track or just messing around on the street? If only launching at the track just take some tools with you and loosen the T-bars at the track.
DHD Brace or Flat CV Angle?

Then mark the Tbar bolts first or count your turns out. Jack the truck's front end up before lowering/raising by that method. Makes it easier on the bolts.
Not trying to make old news new news, but wouldn't you create a toe out condition after dropping down a significant amount? Or are the tie rods close enough to the control arm length that it isn't impacted?
Counting turns or measuring to return to normal is easy, that wouldn't be my concern.
No it will only change camber. And you want negative camber for when your front end rises The tires will end up flat if your shocks are good.
I never had problems with my truck doing what I described, either at the track or on the street.
We have bad bump steer (toe change through suspension cycle) so yes, lowering the front end will cause the front end to toe out on a higher than stock truck that was aligned. But this is a good thing. You want some toe out on a Dmax drag truck. It will compensate for any give in the front end that may cause the tires to toe in. It also helps when the front end rises they don’t toe in and make the rise worse.
Count your turns and you will be just fine. You are more likely to throw the truck out of alignment from racing it then you are from misadjusting the t-bars a 1/4 or 1/2 turn
Thanks guys for all your replies and putting up with my elementary questions. I know this got majorly derailed from the original topic, but it’s been very helpful for me. I’m just trying to get this truck set up the right way because I’ll have it for the foreseeable future.
