Not that I think it's "not possible" to launch well and without pigeon toeing the front tires with a lift, but what size wheels do you have and how heavy are they? How bout your buddy?
Reason I ask is I'm having the same issues. The only time my truck launched without pigeon toeing the tires and without wheel hop was when I ran 17" wheels that were really light, and the tires were pretty light in comparison to what I'm running now as well. I also had the t-bar bolts completely removed.
Currently I'm running a 4" cognito lift, 35x12.5x18 with a forged (heavy) 18x10 wheel, with the c/v's flat and even with the t-bar bolts out I still experience wheel hop on the front driver side, it pulls so bad that I believe if I were in the left lane at a track I'd pull into the wall.
I can't figure it out.
I thought that my stock centerlink was flexing under the stress, but I don't know fer sure. I have rare parts tie rods along with the PISK kit and super steer idler pivot assembly with my alignment set with the toe slightly out, more cuz it helps steer the truck into corners that way but it should also help to reduce toe in, under conditions like a boosted launch. Still I suffer from really bad wheel hop and the truck pulls left if I launch above 8-10 psi of boost. If I try and develop more boost, like 12-14psi the wheel hop is absurdly violent and I feel like something is gonna break and it pulls progressively more to the left with each psi greater I launch at. Everything in the front end is new, bushings, ball joints and bearings, with the exception of the stock centerlink...and I can't help but think the weight of the wheel/tire combo is the culprit. I'm about to tear the whole front end apart when I pull the engine to look for anything out of the ordinary.
I am curious if adding MA engine mounts would help to eliminate or reduce this issue, or if it would have nothing at all to do with it?
