ok pulls are tuesday. i dunno what to do. dad has a dually just like mine with more aggressive tires.... do i borrow them and put em on my truck?? how about blocking the rear end? or weights on the front? Do most pulls make ya take off a dual? if i have to, do i pull the inside or outside? thanks for all the help guys, i dont want to go out and make a fool out of myself.

Now then, I havent seen the track that you are pulling on, but if it were me, I would definetly run the less-aggressive tires. The track I was at last night was full of clay, and stock trucks arent built like pulling trucks are. If the tires lock in with a stock truck, say with mud tires, it would cause stuff to break. With less-aggressive tires(I presume you mean a/ts or something of the like), you should just spin out. I'd rather spin out than the tires catch and break something.

Also, you should be able to pull with both your rear tires on your dually.

Good. lol i really wasnt lookin forward pullin off a dual in the parkin lot. i went to the fourwheeler rodeo (which is in the same arena) last night and theres a lot of loose dirt on top. and they run a box blade down it every run. the tires ive got on it now arent really off road tires. some geostar off brand crap that are really soft and i dont think ill even get 8,000 miles out of them. theres only 1/2 of the tread left. (or less)
