Oh okay, that makes more sense now. I was kinda confused there for a minute. Oh no problem, this thread is to help the new or future pullers

Here is what Andrew is talking about. It will def. make the springs stiffer. Used to do it on demo cars all the time. Never really thought about it on a puller, but it will help. Just make them blend in a little and they probably won't notice.



More than likely you won't need to powerbrake, the sled will hold you back. Get it rolling, and give it all she's got.

i was just gonna say you may not want to drill holes in your spring pack... i guess a 1/4 or 3/8 bolt wouldn't be too horrible, this ^^^ looks good!
Someone demolision derby?
