So, can you go back to the front end chatter problem?
I have a question for disturbed. I am running 4.11's in the front. If I run 4.56's in the rear according to my calculations that would be 10%. Would I be ok at that or is that to much.
if you Over gear a Cepeck whether it is on the front or the back it will cause the truck to lunge from the tire turning faster than what the ground speed is. Its from the very aggressive tread. When the front is over driven to much it can cause the front to dance/chatter. When you run to fast a gear in the transfer case it can cause the truck to lunge. If you have ever seen someone try and wind the engine up and dump the clutch with cepeks on you would see daylight under the entire truck. Wheel speed to ground speed is very touchy with them in a 4wd setup. That's why most ride the clutch out before cutting the tires loose.
I've never tried 10% but some have I'm sure
Overall Diameter: 34.1"
Overall Width: 18.1"
Ply Rating: 4 ply Tubeless
Rim Width: 18" to 22"
Tread Depth: 20/32
Lugs per Side: 30
This amazes me lol
I am no sled puller at all but damn it man, if something is proven and has been for 40 years don't argue it. Sometimes things don't work the same way in real life as they do when calculated out on a sheet of paper.
Really, so back in the 70's and thru the early 2000's everyone set up drag cars the same.
No one believed in sway bars to help and no one set motors down and pointed the front down.
So in the 70's when i explained that and everyone did just kinda similar to whats going on here... "kid this is how it's done", no other reasoning EXCEPT "been doing it 30 yrs like this, it works" well they did it WRONG for another 30 yrs, combined doing it wrong for damn near 60 years...
Now everyone is doing what i was doing then.
Just because its being done doesn't make it all right.

look, when a man with a '91 Daytona in is sig speaks, you best listen up!!!
:hehe:

Depends on what the weight box weighs. Will be different on every truck. what I can get away with on my truck, somebody else may not be able to because of the different configurations
When you air down the front tires how much height does the tire lose? for example a normal 33" tall tire that holds a max air pressure of 65 when deflated to 25 what is the new height of the tire?
I would measure this on my truck but its currently in more than one piece
Something i remember seeing back when i was a tot with ear muffs and a su-su....
Do competitors have people come out and take a look at the front/rear tread dig patterns as the truck pulls ahead and the sled moves back to make sure they are getting a good dig pattern on all 4 corners?
