Seeing as I have a 6.5 the only chance I have at being mildly competitive is if my setup is perfect. So far here is what I found in the last pull I did: My back end drops too much, front end lifts too much, both front tires dont grab, my truck shifts into 3rd too early.
So here is what I am thinking for my next attempt, see what you guys think on all this and feel free to add advice causr altho it is only a 6.5 im sure all the same setup tricks from a Dmax will work. My class does not run weight brackets but just about everything else goes.
1. Blocks for the rear end. Easy enough to make and install at the track. I know most say to run ladder bars with stops. How bad can it be tho?
2. Now I was thinking of rachet staping the front down but I heard that amplifies the hop so herd is my new idea. With the front end completely slammed make some either blocks or bushings that fit between the upper control arm and the control arm stop.
3. Im thinking if I get some extra cash come pull time Ill put a Lockrite in the front diff. Then so I will still be able to use my 4x4 in the snow Ill re wire the front actuator so I can unlock it for a normal 4x4 operation.
4. I know everywhere I have read says to pull in drive and let the truck do the work but I think Im gonna try holding it in second.
Any input is welcome...
