First time run: where and how?

[Fat_Robi]

I have been thinking about wanting to try a sled pull sometime just to see how it goes. I have no idea when or where the closest one to me would be. Anything in Utah/Vegas would be great. Aside from the hitch/ring (3" ID right?) is there anything I need to make a first run? I have tie rod sleeves and idler/pitman arm braces and would drop the torsion bars beforehand. Anything else?:baby:

3rd gear 4lo

Drop front tire pressure, mat it and hold on till the sled stops you.

 

[NemesisDP]

Block the rear, don't spool up off the line.

 

[MMLMM]

Clamp your springs front and rear.
Get the correct hitch height.
Lower your air pressure (amount will depend on track).
4 low, put your tap shift in 3

Make sure your locked in 4 low as your pulling up to sled.

add sand bags in bed to bring weight up to limit (8,000 lbs most likely)

pull till sled stops you. If your truck starts jumping up and down hard, it becomes your call weather to let up or keep the hammer down.

Good luck

By the way, your truck looked good layin' a soot trail down the freeway in Salt Lake!

3.75" ID but a 3" (wide)x3.75" oval should also work. Depends on who your pullin' with.

We are still waiting for the '09 schedules to come out, so who and where is still up in the air...

Have fun!

I think I need a bigger Alligator Performance sticker and maybe a lift pump(Airdog 150?) to let me smoke some more, see if I can't draw some more attention for you.
Ill be in vegas next week, if you have any good stickers in I will swing by and pick one up.
