I wonder also, if it would help to keep a rake from back to front so that when it squats it wont raise as much in the front? Or do the straps help that much more?

It never really says how well it ended up working.

 

See Stock 48...4wd 1.4x 60's.

 

Couple guys on here have done it. I know Roger (AKlowriderZ71) did it running DR's and he said it was a much more stable launch and tracked straighter

 

Well hell I'm going to try it now

 

I did it and pulled a couple 1.4x 60's, it launches very straight.

 

hm... guess ill look into these as well for when i get the turbo on. may even get them and try them out before hand and see if theres much help with stock power.

 

Mine is strapped also, have not been able to test at track yet though.

 

I went from a 2.3 60' with stock 265/70R17 in 1800' DA to a 2.2 with 285/70R17 in 3500' DA. this was mostly stock. Just had intake, LT, catted mids, dual 3" with Magnaflow mufflers, 4.56 gears and a mail order tune. I would spin the front tires through 1st and bark 2nd. Best to date is a 1.79 all motor on the 285s.

Here is a vid of a 3300 rpm launch. 1.9 60' The next weekend I went to a different track and ran my 13.2 with a 1.79 60'
I DD with my straps snug. I tighten them 1 full turn at the track.

 

I have mine slacked for DD, but roads around here are rough.
