Pulling with the 05-up front end.

Hey all, I'm gonna be aquiring an 06 truck within the next month and was wondering what you all do for the radius arm front end to stop it from hopping? I've seen all the 4 link kits but $1000?! Is there a cheaper and just as effective way of getting the front end to hook? Thanks!

Re: Pulling with the 05-up front end.

no one has really nailed it other than lubeowner i think, he built a bracket that puts an additional 2 sets of shocks in front of the axle, schieds added a shock at a 60 degree angle in addition to the stock shock, but i have heard it hops but not verified by the truck owner

Re: Pulling with the 05-up front end.

Yeah I've seen some videos of his pulls before and it looks really good. Hopefully he'll chime in with some insight here.

Will the shock setup help with drag racing also or is a 4 link going to be the best all around bet for controlling it? I'm going to run weights also up front.

Re: Pulling with the 05-up front end.

I know a guy that runs air bags in his front end on a 06 and it never does the front bounce.
