I am not a pro at pulling, but the more tread you have on your tires, the more stress you put on axles, transmission shafts, clutches, and differentials

Yes, and the further down the track you go!

Go for it....let us know what breaks first!

Seriously though I would suggest something like a Cooper STT or Mickey Thompson MTX, or even a Pro Comp Extreme AT.

The good ol stocker. But Im hopin to tear it up. Im on the "cant get money outta the ol' lady until its certifiably broke" plan .

Thats how I got the sbc 3600 and the stock fuel system(thanks edge), the edge (becouse the stock truck wouldnt pull the work trailer), intercooler and refflexion hood(thanks deer), the tires(thanks right foot), and the stack(I made her believe it was causing bad gas mileage with the smaller 4", that one kinda backfired). And for the smarty I had to sell plasma and mp-8 at the blood bank for a year(just kidding). She thinks this truck is a POS. Its always broke in her eyes. But I only wanna break stuff that can be upgraded.

So pullin is fine as long as I can get the turbo to turn into twins.. Right now Ive got a little flutter from modding the cp3, "sorry honey a stage 2 will fix that" .

Its a little game we play, I make all the money, she does the books, and I try to think of neat ways to make her give it to me. So far im winnin'.

I have Procomp Extreme Alterrains on my truck and on a hard track they grab and go. but on a softer track i spin way to much with them. I have been looking at a set of 33 15.50s MTZ's for my truck maybe a 13.50 but ive got the power. just having a little trouble with getting my suspension right to stop wheel hop.
