Has anyone broken anything while doing a 4 wheel drive launch? like trans-case, front diff. anything like that. Just curious, thanks.

Only thing that I heard of breaking was the puny tie-rods. Put a pair of Super Diesel's sleeves on and you'll never have to worry.

Put my 2002 6' in the air repeatedly at 50 mph in the desert. 6" Superlift/17" tires. It held together. I am replacing the tie rods with Bullet Proof aftermarket simply because I can and I don't trust the factory sh#t.

Are u seriously claiming that you jumped your duramax truck 6 feet in the air?? A lift is great for clearance and what not, but not designed to take the abuse of jumping, especially with the weight of our trucks. Anyone who would do that with their 30k+ daily driver/tow vehicle would atleast take pictures and have sober witnesses!

sorry, i guess i should have been more specific. 4x4 launches drag racing, not jumping. im not that crazy. i didnt pay $50k for something to jump. I have a dirt bike for that.
