But the biggest problem of the Chevy's that break the driveshaft like those did was because of the pinion angle from there lifts. I love watching Joe Smoe and his buddies that have big jacked up trucks go to there first truck pull while they look at my truck thinking I haven't got a shot in the world. Ha ha gets me every time especially when they come up to me afterward so how do you pull so well. My answer is I just go lucky this time I guess.
I agree on the pinion angle. The track that day at the Columbiana County fair was one of the best (tightest) tracks we've ever pulled on. I was very thankful that we had our aftermarket ($250 steel) driveshaft in that day.
I plan on doing some local pulls this fall. do i need anything special for a reciever? Ive noticed alot of serious trucks have a raised style hoop. is there any reason for me to need a rasied reciever or can i get away with it being straight out of the hitch?
You can get away with a straight receiver if your just starting out. As people get more into it you really fallow the rules to the max like max hitch height, max weight, everything but for starting out just use what you have.
