Are limiting straps streetable? I cant even nail it from idle in 4wd without loosing traction. If not I'll have to just roll into the throttle I guess...leaves a lot on the table though. Whatever worries I had about not enough low end with a Whipple are definitely gone now! God only knows what when I pulley down with headers and tune. Torque is a handful from idle to redline with DI.

Depends if you drive around with them preloaded or not. If you do, they are going to ride pretty bad. You need stiffer shocks on the front and rear to launch 4wd properly.

Original, only have 15k on the truck. Goodyear Wrangler SRA P265/65R18 All season street tires. Factory wheel 18" x 8" I think.

Wow I thought Stock 48 used to use stock shocks. Guess I need to read up some more. Thanks!

Pretty sure he had the front end straped down so the front shocks basically didnt do anything. It takes more than putting the button/lever in 4wd to launch good

Maybe when I take all the weight out of the bed. Maybe that is causing it to squat too much and raise the front end. I don't want to destroy the ride so shocks may be the answer. Recommendations without spending a fortune? And what settings 50/50?

Those goodyears are just pure junk anyway. To me it doesnt matter what you do, those tires are hurting everything.

Didn't realize they were that bad but yeah may be and I do appreciate your input. My 07 did cut a 1.69 60' on its stock 275/55/20 Goodyears. It did have a looser converter but I thought respectable for stockers. It'll have to wear them for a while though because after all, it's just my work truck lol.

The goodyear eagle ls2's are alot different and they had more surface area to contact the ground.

Both tires past half tread are almost useless up here in the north and both wear fairly quickly.
