| Awesome pull! 
If you do it again Im sure you'll get the hang of it. Did you run it in 4Hi or 4LO? Your truck sounds exactly like mine when I pulled! I let off though a lil early

| 4 lo, manual mode, 3rd gear, tow/haul mode. Had my bars all the way down and front tires at about 20psi and rears were around 55psi. I had no extra weight in or on the truck.

The firts time I pulled I used third and when it shifted into third the truck bogged down (it was completly stock). I used second gear my second pull and it seemed to help out alot. aggar is alos right. You best bet is to lower the torsion bars before the pul if you can. especially if you have niger tires and they are higher than stock.
The one tip I have is roll into the pedal gradually. Then once its in the gear you want (2nd 3rd) roll into it hard. You want to get speed quickly before the sled gets heavy. Then you'll have good momentum.
