So tomorrow is my first time pulling and after watching a friend today I decided to make some suspension blocks for the bump stops and lowered my T bars down. I see allot of people strapping the center link and I was thinking of doing that also but I have the cognito tie rods and braces and was wondering if it is necessary to still strap the center link?

sure is boy around here had same setup,told him he needed to strap and he didnt he broke.

if ur braces are installed right they do what the strapping the center link used to do isnt that why u brought the braces in the first place? as long as ur bars are down and ur cvs are leveled or at a negitive angle ur fine

as long as your CV angle is level or pointing upwards you should be fine, i just have Tie Rod sleeves and have been fine so far (only 3 hooks) my fiancée drove my truck in Greenville on Saturday and did really well with the stuff in my signature, she tied for 3rd out of 18 trucks, and ended up in 4th after the pull-off.
