Fairly neat shot of the train in action.
Think any dirt is getting sprayed on the back tires?
I love a 4th gear pull

did you gain more wieght with the lift?....secound make some custom mud flaps that taper away from the truck that will help form pyling up all that sand and muck from the tires and the truck.....it helps trust me....3rd can you shave anymore wieght off the truck and hang anymore on the front? 4th mean as fuck looking and is the background on my computer
OH yeah i would run like 15psi on that track in the front....and maybe 35 or less if i could see the log of rpm's and wheel speed...not to be so judge mental steve just tryin to help out alittle Ec out

Thanks Eric, The lift added about 200lbs. The mud flap thing is something we are tossing around and in the photo the truck had 21 lbs in the rear and 18 in the front. I would run them lower but I'm worried about spinning them on the rims. i saw a truck do it one night. I hang 800 on the front, 100 in the cab and 140 in the bed. We are playing with moving the weight around. Amazing how much effect it has. Thanks for the suggestions.

Cool Steve....I know the mud flaps will look gay as hell but you will benefit alot more than i would from them with all the loose dirt... That was alittle trick i picked up from a old man thats pulled pro stock gas 4*4's for over 40 years...Wow thats some LOW tire pressure...Im really shocked you havent spun them on the rims already...It must be from all the tire spin...I bet if you hook up really hard youll be able to spin them on the rim with that much tire psi...The gasser trash guys always say never under 40psi in the rear becuase it usually induses wheel hop but we all know a dmax hardly EVER wheel hops so i have ran much lower at around 30

Nice parts and a fairly easy install. The Tie-rods and CV's are negative towards the diff.
Durring the pull it look's like they are Horizontal, with no off angle crap. TNR has the same lift and it is working good for him too. The IFS on our trucks can be a nightmare in a sled pull situation. This lift eliminates a lot of the issues.
