SLED PULLING Improvements for 2006....Lets hear 'em

I plan on a weight rack w/weights for 06.
Also planning on installing a EATON E locker.
Another hitch in the works also that will adjust up and down.

Maybe a modded CP3 in the future too.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, suspension blocks and Horschel Damper (thanks Peter!).

Anyone else getting ready for next season?

My truck is just for pulling locally (about 7 pulls or so)

I hope to improve the weight rack i have, get better tires, the biggest one is a new torque converter. then pull as much as i can. last year i was able to pull about 6 or so times this year i am hoping to do a LOT better, lots of traction problems last year.

I need to get my pump off and get it recalibrated & fixed (bent Gov. stud)
Would love to upgrade my HTB2 to a SP66....don't know when that will happen.
Also would love to get a cam, once I do that SP66 so I don't have a lot of turbo lag if any?

That and weld my weight rack brackets to the frame and I'd be done.

Pourin---> How are you going to do the weight rack? That's the only thing I'm lacking for mine and I'll be good to go.

I bought a front hitch mount and another receiver to have a slide in unit.
But, I am not dead set on that system.

I know one thing; I won't be under weight this season and I'll be ready for those shoddy pulls where they up the weight to some crazy amount so their buddies lifted dually powerstroke can pull.

The frontmount hitches are all dead center aren't they? I was wanting mine offset to the driver's side to counteract the torque. I was thinking of something that was removable that hooked to the sway-bar bolts and the tow hook. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet.
