If you had any traction at all, I'll bet you could set a new record as the first person to simultaneously shatter every single u-joint in the whole driveline front and back, without ever leaving the starting line.

Racing in 4L you will top out at like 45mph... Not to mention you'll shift out of first at like 4mph or something ridiculously slow...you'll redline faster than your truck has time to stay in a gear. You'll actually lose a ton of time doing this!!!
Always race in 4H...

Theres trucks out there at 140+ and your daily driven trucks top out around the 100-110 all the time.

Put your truck in low and take it for a spin on the street with your windows down. Get up to 30mph and you will soon hear why 4L would be a bad idea. You can hear those gears singing.
