valve springs and drag tires

Ok I'm getting ready for truck fest in a month and im getting valve springs, bigger injectors, nitrous, and strip tires. I have the nitrous and injectors covered but who all sells valve springs? Also im looking for a set of strip tires (31-33 inch) that will go on my H2 rims, and im really trying to go somewhat cheap on them, have any ideas???

11's here i come!

For just springs I would go with the F1 sportsman springs.
Work great for me!

If you are sticking with 17" rims with stock rotors and calipers your choices are limited. Going with 16" rims and there is a whole world of options. I've been shopping around also and my local race shop has the best prices so far....hopefully someone else will chirp in. ks

M&H sells some 29.5in drag radials which i think would take me back to 3.73's...Kinda wonder how much it would help me.

i think i would rather leave my truck in the ghetto than at a 6.0 perf shop. i can only imagine how molested it would feel after being fondled by all those ford owners wishing they had a cummins in a dark alley

no idea about the tires though

you ever notice how ford guys install a cummins, but you dont see a dodge guy installing a power stroke. theres a reason for that. they went to toyo proxes tires on the project x truck in diesel power because of the speed rating. thats what I run BUT its no full bore drag slick, just a nice street tire

Just find you some old 17inch rims and some used mud dawgs or something to that tune and put some sheet metal screws in em that will allow you to air them ddddddddddddddooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnn nnnnnnnn this will keep them from having the tire rotate on the rim!!
Just a thought dont hold me accountable. If you really want some drag slicks or radials and have options your going to have to go to a 16" wheel but they wont fit over the brake caliper so youll have to buy some wheel spacers and a deep offset wheel.
