My next pass at the track will have to wait a bit for a couple reasons aside from being behind on my work schedule
While at the DPC, Heafner had trouble with his nitrous solenoids, so the ones on mine got donated. I've got new ones on the way for that, then I encountered another self-induced problem. The guys with Diesel Power magazine offered to let me use my truck for the test pull for calibrating the sled for the competitors. I'm not one to turn down a free opportunity to do a pull, so I took it despite not having my front suspension properly set up yet, and the following occurred.
At least somebody got a nice shot of the pull. The front end was bouncing the entire way, just as I expected. I knew I should have upgraded the front end sooner. Now to decide whether to do a 4 link, or OUO ALA's. ALA's would be a no-brainer, but with the lift, it complicates the decision, as I hate the drop bracket with the lift that's on the truck now, and would really like to get rid of it. The bummer is, I would then need to upgrade the sway bar, as the radius arms do a lot to control sway, which I would lose going to a 4 link. I'm open to opinions and suggestions on this one, especially if a stiffer front sway bar already exists. I've even considered fabricating my own long-arm adjustable 4-link.
I also got my wife mad at me because she saw this on facebook:

To top it off, I had to break in it at the track, because after I locked my keys in it, the key pad decided to freak out, and quit working. Good times
