I HAVE A 79 FORD THAT IM MAKIN A PULLIN TRUCK AND WAS WONDERIN IF THERE WAS ANY ADVICE TO WHAT I COULD DO TO MAKE IT BETTER, I HAVE THE TRACTION BARS WITH A 94 MODEL 12V AND A ALLISON 1000 WITH A STAND ALONE CONTROLLER BUT I HAVE ANOTHER THRED ABOUT HORSEPOWER ADJUSTMENTS IF ANY ADVICE CAN BE GIVEN ID APPREICATE IT ALOT WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME THANKS IM NEW SO HI EVERYBODY

 

what class would you want to pull in? another thing a puller needs is suspension blocks. most places requires a min of 1 inch of suspension travel. do you have a stack on you truck? if not, then your going to need a stack, or an elbo on your regular exhaust to direct smoke/parts up wards in case somethin goes wrong.

 

yes i have stacks two 6in black ones, the truck is lifted when i got it and i swapped out the suspenion kits to make it a 6in lift before i new i was going to try and sled pull. will the 6in lift hurt the truck if i left it on there and tryed to pull with in? because the back of the truck has blocks to raise it to the right height but the front was new leaf springs because it has 2001 f350 axles under neath it so it aint sure bout the lift?

 

Lift is def not gonna help... Driveline angle is your enemy! I hope you don't have stacked blocks on the rear as well, that's a big no no...

 

Lift blocks will only add wheel hopping leverage to axels not braced ie ,tractionbars,also if you hook for fun ,one needs the exaust elbo and stops? A reg

 

theres a reason u dont see alot of lifted trucks pulling. no matter what, u have the same hitch hieght as all the rest. u have more suspension flex also, the driveline is at a greater angle, and will cause alot greater stress on the u-joints

 

so get rid of the lift and put back to stock height and what do i need to do for the blocks for the suspenion for that mimnail drop? do i need to just make a custom set of traction bars? but if i go back to stock height what after that?
