You have wheel-hop. Traction bars will help a lot.

A lot of 5.4s won't do a burn out... 4.6s don't seem to have a problem with it...

Whats your rear gear ratio... 4.10s should turn them over pretty easily.

You really shouldn't be trying to do a burnout and risking axle hop with that much lift, unless you want to put that truck on its lid. I've seen it happen.

The 4.6L trucks have a better torque converter that stalls higher which gets the engine up into the sweet spot of the torque band faster. The 5.4L stalls too low and makes a burnout hard to do. Especially a 4x4 with 265/70/17's with 3.55 gears. I'll be going to 4.10's if I ever get the cashola to do so.
