Does a straight centerlink COMPLETELY eliminate the stock centerlink's rolling issue?? Like, no need for braceing?
Straight centerlink

It completely stops the toe in from hard acceleration in 4WD and the toe out when ever braking hard (every day driving or racing which causes more wear than most know). The off set leverage point is eliminated.
Burkhard braces works flawlessly for me. This is for a new pulling truck my bro and i got. Not gonn waste my money on congnito braces after having both them and Tony's. Just wondered if anyone had experience using a straight link for pulling. If the pitman and idler assemblies are new/tight then the straight centerlink would COMPLETELY solve that issue?
Just to clarify, All Seasons brace is the best money spent, fixes the toe in problem better than any other system. :thumb: Just researching for another truck
Not to throw Tony under the buss but does anyone have a Kryptonite one? I just have their tierods and would want the centerlink to match..
For a full time pulling truck that doesnt see a lot or any street use, straight centerlinks work great. Its pretty easy to build a brace that stops toe in too. Ive known pullers doing it since 02. Its some metal, some welding, and a turn buckle with swivels on the end. About 30 bucks worth of parts.
I think that there were pictures on the DP of the design you may be referring to....way back in 05...surprised nobody really capitalized on it
Just keep everything in a straight line. If the tie rods are in line with the centerlink they have no leverage over the the centerlink and cannot roll it. The best thing I ever did was my 4" tc lift and idler arm bracing to the frame.
That's what my 01had on it when I bought it from Craig McElfresh. Worked fine for him pulling and worked finefine for me playing around on the street doing 4x4 launches.
