I've wondered about putting stop blocks in the rear suspension, that way all of the energy will go straight into pushing the rear axle down instead of compressing the rear suspension. Just a thought... The first upgrade I'd do is invest in a real clutch, the stocker's not going to make it long. The long wheelbase and the engien all the way forward might hurt your weight transfer - see where you're at relative to the 8500lb max and ballast up over the rear tires. I'll see ya Sept 25 at Morgan's Corner!

Ok I am not puttin stacks on my truck (at this time). Oh and if i think the Michelin LTX M/S tires can grip on the track im going this weekend to a pull down in N.C. But no weight in the bed. Just need a base line for the truck to see what will work better or worse. And i cant say for sure but i should be at the corner and may pull not sure yet. I really want the tires and ladder bars done before i start pulling. Thats why i said in the beggining I will start pulling next season.

Ok pulled tonight at champanoke tractor pulls. No traction at all. Now iim getting tires and puttin some weight in the bed and should be good to go. But did get to see if the truck would build boost off the line and see what needs to be worked on. Everything was good but no traction. Pulled about 1ft. We shall see what better tires and some weight will do. According to the tractor guys the better tires and about 1000lbs of weight should really make this truck hook. Ill let yall know after morgans corner.

Well being different has been your MO since I met you, and you have not disappointed the know alls on these boards on the wrong turns you've been forewarned of. That being said it seems you have a passion for trying something new regardless of all the negative commentary.
Good Luck with the new build and let us know when your pulling at Morgans.

So what your saying is im proving people wrong or i actually think about this stuff before i go and do it? Or am i just crazy? But as for morgans corner, the pull is on the 25th of september. Not sure if ill be pulling or not. Dont have the tires yet and not sure if i want to buy then before next season or not.
