I have a Ccsb so turning isn't it's strong point already. Thanks for all the input. I almost bought the straight center link and now I'm glad I didn't.
I'm pulling for more of a 305/50/20. The price quotes I just got were all for 55 series so I'm going to see what they have in a shorter tire. Should come out to 31ish.
I run a 20x9 wheel with 305/50/20 toyo proxes with the TB bolts completely out with no rubbing at all. They hook pretty good on the street as long as you have the correct PSI for the weight of ur truck. I've heard a lot of different people sayin they had better results with lower psi but mine launched best at 38F n 36R...then again my truck weighs 5500lbs so you will just have to play with it till u find what works best with ur setup.
Oh and I also seen where u mentioned traction bars... Cheapest route would b clamping the rear springs n rancho shocks but if u wana get serious at track u need sum good double adj shocks like Qa1's n some caltracs for the rear. The kryptonite kit is a really good upgrade for the front end but it is costly... Just my 2 cents!
Thanks for the input. That's some good information. As for traction bars I have a set of long bars already. I just haven't put them on yet.
I took the ranch hands off today, installed a factory front and a roll pan out back. had to install the ranch hands on my cousins truck so didn't get as much done as I'd like. I did manage to get a set of 305 65 17 tires to get me by until I pull the trigger on a set of 20s.
Next weekend I'll remove the cognito uca, install new shocks and ball joints, tie rod sleeves, remove a spring in the pack out back and install lowering shackles. I'd like to be about 3" lower than I sit now. She looks very disproportionate right now.

It's an eBay special lol. $120 shipped. I need to form it to the curvature of the grill to match up better.
How much drop are yall getting by removing the overloads? I got some beltech 2" drop shackles and it's not looking like it will be enough. Thickness of the spring looks to be 5/8 to 3/4" just eyeballing it so I assume at least that much. Also I planned on keeping my airbags for when I have to tow something. At 5psi do yall think it will affect my ride height much?
I had to remove my bags unfortunately. I'm still trying to figure out a way to relocate them.
Completely deflated, they were too tall. Yours on the other hand may be fine but Idk by how much. I went with the 3" shackles and only took out the overload.

May have to go old school and get some air shocks lol. I hope I can keep them especially if I remove the overload.
Put a set of 2 " lowering shackles on last night and it wasn't quite low enough. Swapped them for a set of 3" lowering shackles and it sits better. I still would like to Remove the overload springs but I'd definitely loose my airbags then. They are already borderline.
Swapped all the front cognito stuff for factory with fresh joints and bushings. The lift keys went back factory and are ran in to 1 1/8" bolt sticking out. They looked mean with the bolts out but I was rubbing bad. Kinda stuck where I'm at now because the bolts started twisting off on one.
