2wd is tuff

Define properly Brian
the only 2wd trucks I've seen go 1.4-1.5 didn't just run slicks and adjustable shocks.
Define properly Brian
Look at dans crew cab, fat stickies and a good rear end setup and it would cut 1.70's with ease. If boosted gassers can run 1.50 60's why can't we? Just takes more ideas to get it there.
When I ran my single 72 with drag radisls I hit 1.72 average 60ft. But with more power mods they couldnt hook and would blow off. Slicks have to be hit hard to work. I would love to have a radial the same size as these slicks but o well. Next possible move is to remove some leafs and add air bags when I need to pull.
So according to you and Kory 1.7's with ease is what 4x4 trucks hit with drag radials or slicks? Get the f**k out lol. 4x4's with decent shocks, decent power and drag radials or cheater slicks cut better 60's more consistently.
Guys have been launching 2wd 1000+hp gas trucks for a loooong ass time. Cutting nice 60's and everything.
I think the reason we don't see many 2wd diesels tearing it up is because of the amount of R&D it takes to get set up properly vs buying a 4x4, throwing her in 4hi and punching it.

Obviously 2wd trucks cut crazy 60's but not 3/4 ton cc/sb trucks that's the point I'm trying to make
Why are easily half the fast single cab diesels 2wd?
Point is a 2wd can and will 60' just as hard as a 4wd, it's easier to 60' in a 4wd I agree but the debate wasn't which is cheaper.

Plus, most of our trucks are street machines. We love them because we (you 4x4 dudes) can line up with a Z06 at a stop light and embarrass the hell outta them.
thats why i want a 4wd

Here's a video of the pass where he pushed through the brakes. I have another one of the 7.6 pass, but I want to load it on a wifi connection so I can load it in HD. Anyway, here's this one for now.

Also to add with what Brian is saying the gas guys have been doing it forever. Plus I haven't seen the mention of why it's a little disadvantage to hooking with our trucks 2wd. Torque! Torque gets us moving and a 1000hp gasser is roughly a 500-600hp diesel. Just thought I'd chime in. The thought of making my zf6 rclb a 2wd just to add to the already uphill battle of being fast has crossed my mind for the weight difference.
I will be doing some R&D with my 2WD RCLB drag truck that I am building. Should be fun and interesting!
It's much more embarrassing when you do it to one on the freeway, 2wd is awesome
2wd is useless on the street even at highway speeds in a built truck that's making good power. Judging by your sig you should know that
