Who did you contact? Sales or Tech?

Seems strange not to get a reply for the past 2 days.

Send me a pm and I'll see what I can do to help

so are we, but only because we wanna get some seat time with the 26's, eventually getting 28s


the 5.9 kit we got does not have a aftermarket half shaft., when we talked to DSS they said they stopped production and they are redesigning it.

That is suprising. I am running 26s and just had a minor issue with the 3.9s after 2 years of beating them to death. I had 20 launches with massive tire shake and I know a lot of guys running mid-low 9s on a 5.9 and they have been running them for years. I would look into something else being wrong if you hurt them 1st pass.

I hope you guy's have looked at all the supporting pieces. Engine mounts, ride height, suspension movement, tire pressure.
