To disengage I have to let of for a couple Seconds.... id like 2 be able to keep it in 4wd down the track...

Then If your CV angles are high, especially at full throttle, then you might drop your torsion bars before racing, that way when u peg it for the run, and the torque pulls the front end up, you will be closer to level.

is that the stock center link, theres no drop pitman arm and idler arm is there?

the angle of the cv's and the tie rods make it pull to the left, you should ride in mine when i have it in 4x4 i floor it and it jumps one lane over when im cruising at 30mph.

if you could can you lower the front a little bit?

Well the lift hurts you thats for sure, leave it in 4wd all the way, you cog is to high and throwing everything off, torsion bars need to be all the way down, you need to get it as low as you can, and a cognito brace will help.
this is all i know!

If the stock idler/pitman/centerlink are all in the stock locations, I'd add Cognito Pitman and Idler arm braces for good measure. Your ft axle angle look about as good as it gets for all around useage, might drop it down at the track if you want to see if there is a difference.
