I have never pulled a sled with my D-Max.
I have an edge attitude and a quadzilla tunner with 4" downpipe back exhust.
Stock tranny.
How high of setting should I run? Should I stack them?
High side or low?
I have 285's bfg ats for tires.
Thanks for the help.

what year truck? lb7 or lly?first off lower your torsion bars all the way, second strap down your centerlink, third, 4low 3rdgear, tow haul on, while stacking use the quad to get rid of speed limiter at the very least, keep in mind that you have a stock trans and if you can afford to buy a upgrade run the quad at its highest level(what quad do you have?) and the edge at say 3 (anything more may cause bursting(lack of fuel)) I think pulling is fairly safe on a stock trans while in tow haul and 4th low but you play at your own risk. Where are you pulling at? invest in some tie rod sleeves soon.

I would have to second all of that... the only thing I have never done is strap the centerlink. the last time I pulled I forgot and left in in drive. not sure but I think I got into 4th:D I was flying down the track

I have 04 lly.
My Quad is the 135 tunner.
I have noticed that sometimes when I stack the truck acts up alittle when shifting?
I didnt know that would afect me while pulling.
No sure what you mean by the center link?
Should I let it shift up to 4th if it wants or try to keep it in 3rd?
I read some on clamping the springs together, are they just using clamps or what??
Thanks for all the help.

i have no idea how an lly acts when stacking

connects the pitman arm and idler arm, and tie rods

no leave it in third and be ready to downshift when motors starts bogging down

So what do you strap the center link to?
What does sleeving the tie rods do? And how do you do it?
I will be pulling in Riverside, IA. Dont know anyone else that messes with d-maxes more than myslef. Its a small town pull.
I could'nt get access to get the picture to come up?

Hey Redrock, When is the pull in Riverside? I don't live to far from there, down in Mt. Pleasant. I might be interested in going up and watching. There is going to be another pull down here the 17 of next month if I remeber correctly.
