Rough Country makes tie rod sleeves for your truck for less than $50. If it is getting too much weight transfer to the rear, you will have issues. As stated, strap the front end.

I think I sent you an email? If not, then that's weird you ask the same question 
Ill copy and past my email here:
-The fact that it spins the front tires is probably keeping the CV shafts from exploding. Probably the first time you hook with the front you will break a cv shaft. CV shafts work the best when they are at a flat angle, and the further they move away from that the weaker they get.
-It is pulling hard to one side mainly because of the of the tie rod situation. If you watch the front tires they toe in hard on a launch, this causes unpredictable steering. At a minimum I would recommend some tie rod sleeves that go over the factory tie rods, very popular with diesel guys. If you are serious about racing you and do what I did and convert to heim tie rods that are much stronger and don't deflect under load. I think a company called FFR or something like that makes a kit for these trucks, around $200 I think.
- What are the shock settings? If you notice the weight initially transfers all the way back then it bounces forward and rocks back and forth a few times. You need to slow down this movement without shocking it, which means a very stiff shock for the rear and remove or trim the bumpstop so it doesn't bottom out. The front shocks need to be turned up so they control the front end rise.
