Its all stock guys, no limiting straps, no fancy tricks...
Troy decided what class hes going to this year with the rule change?
That is the key, all you have to do is set the stops so it doesn't sag so much... but make sure it actually comes off the stops.
Here is a video of our open driveline truck, you can hardly even tell the frontend lifts, and look how high the rear is....

What is more important Hitch height or the truck hooking up?
On a good track they go hand in hand!
Will you have problems with the front end breaking or bouncing if you use taller bump stops so that when the truck is just sitting there your cv angles are not flat anymore? Or as long as the front end comes off of the stops a little bit you wont have any problems?
Sometimes you will have to play with the rear ride height in order to get everything to work correctly in the front on an IFS truck.
x2. You guys are so lucky to have such a strong pulling presence and support down there. Our pulls are a joke at best up here and turnout minimal. Which is strange with all the fast diesels around Alberta....
Someday when I get a built trans and engine, I'm gonna load up the holiday trailer and spend a month cruising around down there and make a few pulls. Just to see how the big boys do it!!:woott:
My IFS puller actually had negative angles just sitting, the pumpkin was lower than the outter knuckles.
When your pulling your cvs arent flat anymore if your front end is raising. A little angle isnt going to kill them. As long as its not setting on the stops i dont think you will have problems.

Thats about how diesel drag racing is around here, thats why i went back after a year off.
I just couldnt stay away from the dirt, the competition is too fun!Mine raises just a little off the stops & they are level running down the track. That's one of the reasons I have a TC lift though
