Is that Mad Max's garage? Looks like you could be fixing the timing cover and welding on the bulldozer blade on that truck.

Going up is the easy part. It's the landing that hard.

If you're still pulling enough torque, it should come down slower than it would normally by gravity. Although if you shift...

Some of the cars start making massive lift too when they're still pulling the tires at 50 mph, or more... :shaking:

BTW I'll be dropping in a 700hp blower engine soon.

So, what the best thing to do if that happens?

Stay on it?

Lift gently, but not too fast?

I've got a stick, so I'm assuming I should keep it in gear and not shift until the nose comes back down.

I was lucky. Not to much damage. I've been told to shift gears. Of coarse I have automatic trans with manual valve body. Don't do what I did "LIFT". Next time I'll stay in it but I also put wheelie bars on to help out.

I'm a sucker for wheelie shots. I can never get enough. Just like a few other things I can never get enough of.

Vettrock, I'm assuming your IRS has been replaced. Are you running a 9"? Also, did you install tubs in the rear wheel wells? Some pics would be cool if you have any.
