No traction

[WVRigrat05]

How the **** do you guys drive these trucks with nothing in the bed???

I've owned one of these things since 2006 and have always had shit in the bed or a gutless LLY with a bully dog to limit tire spin.

I can't keep this thing in the road now on gravel roads and damp/wet roads. Track bars help any??

Caltrac style bars help some

Prudence with my right foot. Still, sometimes that didnt work, either.

I've become a master at cramming it in 4wd at all speeds

I run low tire pressure in that back all the time but wasn't driving mine everyday. Welded rear end helped a bunch. I'm also on 2 leaves and I think that softness helped some.

crappy leafs and axle wrap keeps it planted better

I have a constant 800lbs so I wouldn't know. Last time bed was empty was when I bought it hah.

That's 2 leaves with caltracs lol and now spring clamps. But nothing beats pedal control for traction.

Must be that heavy bumper up front.

Snow is even worse... (obviously). I wonder how much with a bed sprayed with LineX weighs compared to without it..?

i have to wait till 3rd gear to punch it in 2wd if i want traction. dirt road or wet/damp road, forget it. 4wd or it goes no where if i want to "get with it". and thats just the tow tune :roflmao:. axle wrap bars will not improve the situation. cal tracs only work so good. you have a looooong truck to get weight transfer to the ass end and hook. those 35s aint very sticky either.

True Trac made a huge difference. Caltracs after that made it better yet.

I'm talking like 1/2 to 3/4 throttle it just spins, and if you punch it getting on the highway it downshifts to third and spins.

I'm letting all the air out of the bags, going to 35 lbs in the tires instead of 40-45 and try that. And yeah these stt pros kinda suck.

Locker is next, ive got the pass side tire about gone and every time you think the locker isn't going to kick in, it does and sling shots you.

i have them on my tracker, i can see how they wont grab asphalt for crap. work awesome in the rocks out here though.

the BFG KO2s are grabby on the street but dont expect them to last for shit.
