Went to the pulls last night, as soon as I pulled up I was told the traction bars put me into Extreme Diesel, eh, whatever. The rear didn't squat as much, NO hopping, and I pulled as far I usually do in lower classes. Definitely happy with these bars.

Until I can get it emailed to me, this Facebook reference is going to have to work.

Oh yeah, that was on Gear Head's SRL tune, 4LO, 3rd gear.

Truck sounds mean man! What are you running for air pressure? What shocks do you have? Noticed you had a little bit of a bounce at the end there...

I love that raspy exhaust note!

I left my rears at the normal 45 street pressure and I dropped the fronts to 22-ish. We tried hanging weights, but my front bumper being pushed fwd prevented getting the bolts in. For shocks I have the old stand by nitrogen charged white tube shocks. They are probably why my truck rides so damn stiff on the road. Off road they aren't too bad though.

I can't tell if the bounce was the prep or the truck. I will say this, that is the first time I pulled that the rear end didn't spring up at the end from squatting.

The screen name is Karls OH THREE! And you say I'm the funny one.

However, I did see an 05-07 at the Fallon pulls on 265s/285s (?) axle hop the front like it was cool at the end of the pull.
