btw that thing rolls out !!! LOL

 

 

how did you guys determine the length you got? did you leave a little slack in the line for movement or do you want it tight in the parked position ?

 

I still need to due this to mine, I hope to start getting parts when I get home.

 

I measured from the lower shock mount to the upper shock mount as it sits. Then I subtracted 3" and came up with a 12" strap needed. Im about 1/2" over stock ride height.
I keep them snug when driving around town and tighten them when I go to the track.

 

Nice straps/install, I will have to try this at the track this summer.

BTW looks like you need to decrank your keys a bit, those CV angles dont look too flat. Im paranoid about flat CV's cuz when i had cranked keys in my Dmax i broke tie rods twice and it launched terrible. Not saying you have this issue but flatter the better.

 

Sorry if I jacked your thread
its just the angle of the picture.
and these should help the tie rods

 

Looks like the chains worked!!!!!!!!!!!!

My car did ok, a little slower than last time. But my truck........
I was hoping so bad to break into the 12s. Hell I would have been ecstatic with a 12.8!

My previous best run was:
60 ft 1.9972
330 ft 5.4487
1/8 8.3656
1/8 84.54 mph

On the left is my 4,250 lb bolt on convertible SS
On the right is 6,015 lb turbo Escalade ESV

 

Very nice. Any Vids of the run

 

Yeah, my niece got some but it's pretty crappy. A bunch of my friends were there and got video, I hope theirs is better. My buddy that was driving my Camaro put his Go Pro Hero 2 on my trunk pointing at the truck so I am thinking that is going to be the best video out of all!

They should be loaded up by tomorrow.
