Default 4WD launch

ok, so I've never done a 4wd start before. after you start and get up to 30-40mph, do you shift back to 2wd mode? is it harder on the transmission? thanks guys.

of course a 4x4 boosted launch is harder on the tranny your getting another axle spinning with more weight on it

thats why i got the 2low setup on my 12v so when im going down the strip i can flip the switch and it will disconect my hubs, it wont stock my t-case from spinning but it will reliese the drag and pressure of the front tires
