LMM frontend parts for racing.Would you go with cognito braces or billet centerlink ?This particular truck has 6" lift and 35" tires.(Sleeves are already on)...
Which parts are needed????

Centerlink..... Downside is poor turning radius, but they are the best for keeping front tires straight launching and pulling IMO
I dont think you need the centerlink unless you are planning to do a lot of racing
BUT I would recomend the braces i will never have a lifted GM with out them JMHO

I would never have a GM truck period without braces:rofl:
I also have alifted truck and the sleeves and braces should do you fine. I drag race and Pull alot and have zero issues to date....... But blowing through wheel bearings is another story
We've seen a lifted truck even buckle a centerlink. We had to tow it backwards to get it off the track.
If you can run rims with alot of backspace it will help. The more the wheels stick out, the worse your problems will be.
I think it's time for a better solution. Some kind of brace that doesn't hurt turning radius, yet won't toe in on a 1.6 sixty foot time. It wasn't too long ago that 1.7's were considered to be blazing 60's. But those days are gone.

i have a 4" tuff country that i have cranked to 6" total...my CV angles are just past level and i take the torsion bolts almost out when pulling but i have never had an issue with toe-in...i have a dual steering stabilizer kit and idler/pitman braces and sleeves...stock centerlink....havent had any issues with worn bearings/bushings since i threw away the FAGteck 6" lift
Oh Yeah, it will be worse with a straight centerlink...... I haven't measured, but on a full lock tight turn my guess is that it kills the radius a minimum of 25%... That being said I'm glad that I don't do really tight turns more than once a month or so :rofl:
This is why I worry about lifted trucks drag racing
