You mean you can't break traction and spin tires?

Mine won't sit there and burn em either. It just hunches up and creeps. I can roast the crap out of them taking off and they're loose all the time when it's wet. But it wont do a regular brake torque.

When I want to I can power brake mine and leave parallels, I have picture proof. I get sideways everywhere if I stomp on it when wet and can squeal them pretty good taking off around a corner. I have a 3.55 limited slip, which really only slips around tight curves

I've slid it sideways through a stoplight on a rainy day.... I took off and she felt kinda loose so I kinda let off a little when I turned it and got halfway through the light and my rearend was GONE lol

And I got pulled over one night for burning em from a stop sign. That was an FML moment hahaha cause a truck full of girls watched me do it but so did a state trooper pulling out a block away hahaha.

It'll burn em just not in a brake torque

Mine not so much with all the added weight and running 1 tons with 35s and 456 gears and a full locked rear end I can't. Oversized rear brakes are a big issue on mine to much stopping force locks the tires up when I hit the brakes lol but man will it go sideways wet or dry ha

It makes a difference on your rear brakes too. Drum brakes will let the tires eat, where as discs will grab and just let the truck "creep."

Just my thought on the matter.

My 03 won't do a brake stand either. It will burn the tires however especially since the addition of long tubes.
