Tow haul, 4x4 low, put in "m" 3rd gear, clamp your leaf springs, make some suspension stops, lower your front end, get a gradual roll then hammer it, get out of throttle if it starts bouncing..... Have fun

Caldwell , Oh
Be sure its in low range .
Jack the truck up to let the torsion bars up and down or you will strip out the bolts .
Get your weight as high as is allowed . If they allow 8000lbs weigh 8000lbs .
Have Fun!!!! :thumb:

WE will be at lawrence co fpp pull tonight (6/15/12). lawrence is a track that can be different night to night so its hard to say a correct setup for it. Tire style/size, weight, hp level, front locker all have a part in what pressrue to run in tires! other than that 3rdgear, low range, t/h.
