Assuming your power goals, based on your wanting a forged+turbo setup, you won't be hooking on the street from a dig. Anything short of 500hp on a forged short block with a turbo is a complete waste imo... and 500hp doesn't 60' on a leaf sprung pickup without 4wd out on the street lol.

If hooking from a dead stop on the street is an important factor, your power goals will inevitability be the determining factor on how far you have to take your suspension.

Heres mine at roughly 900-1000hp...no burnout, no special juice, just toweled off the tires after driving through the lake they call a water box, which is never an issue on the street obviously. Front end straped, and terrible rear shocks (notice the bouncing). Great thing about 4wd is if the rear starts spinning, the front keeps pulling! Ill gladly take the 400lb or so penalty to always have traction.

Never said your truck didn't work Danny... Just noting the fact that you're not always gonna had a launch pad that's been worked over as well as the one a the track. Not my definition of "street" but who says mine is the right opinion anyway.... I guess it's open for interpretation. IMO to truly hook CONSISTENTLY on any "street" surface, you need more than the back two tires in a truck. Just physics.

At the track, different ball game.
