Make enough power and you can do a burnout anyway.

Ill post up some pics and info of the swap as soon as I can. Added 16 feet onto the front of our garage so i still have to clean out the construction materials before I can get my truck in.
no need to be a douche buddy, i meant at the track to clean the tires off


im going to be on a look out for an nvg 149 transfercase, this should turn out pretty sweet

Before installing suspension limiters in the front, mine would do the wallowing side to side thing and since, it pretty much just walks side-way’s a bit. It feels way more controllable and doesn’t feel as if it is as likely to break parts, just turn the wheel, stay in it and it will line itself back out.

Yeah. I ended up putting bolts in bracket under the upper control arm acting like limiters. It helped some but it still gets squirly. Part of it might also be cause im regular cab.
