Pulling Pucks
- Thread starter AdaMax
- Start date
The smartest thing i did was go from my 285 BFG to a set of 315's this past season. I immediately started beating friends/other pullers that i had consistently been finishing 2-10ft behind. I'll settle for the 15pt turns any day! Theres no way my truck would pull 4th gear on these tracks so the 315's split the difference.
I have been running 35s for 5 years . the pucks up front this year were definitely the best remedy for the 15 point turn .
So I get the theory here. Let me play devils advocate. What if u just raised your keys up a little?
I played with that Idea too but my truck turned into a bunny rabbit and bounced it cost me the pull .
Hay Mike how is it going haven't seen you on here in a while . The way I see it researching all this stuff myself is one of the biggest advantages of being addicted to this crap . You are probably the only one in this area actually reading these forums . You gonna be able to pull much next year with your new little girl ?
I will try to post some pics tonight ..

If someone that can figure out how to post pics on here will send me their email I will send them the pictures to put on here of my pucks . It will probably be of no use to explain to me how to do it . I am pretty much computer illiterate .
You can go just a little, but to much loads the suspension and turns into an epic fail.
I totally get that. I'm sure it would just about bounce u off the track. Isn't ifs fun! Lol
i just used 1" threaded rod. hits where the yellow guys were at. real nice for the 35" tires on stock height
doing good Adam. believe it or not, trying to have a puller for next year. I'll only use it once a month, but better than nothing. also got to get the clutch in the gasser
I believe Merchant did this. Not sure how it worked out. Wondering if they make a spring strong enough to support the weight of the diesel in a single coilover.

you would use this^^^^^^^^^^ to put coil overs on the front of a d maxx.. and yes the rates do get bigger than wat i found,you can get that size spring all the way up to a 1500lbs im pretty sure of..
the slider,i posted will take anything you throw at it,and if ur unsure about the plate's just make new one's but if i was going to coil spring a front i would use this. you would still need to find a shock.
but i do know thay have coil over kits that use the big 5 1/2" springs,
if you go with a big coil over kit,afco also makes a dubble adj shock so you can dial in rebound an compression...just my 2 cents

If you are gonna use it for just a sled tugging unit , why couldn't you pull the torsion bars , use the pucks to hold the front end up and just put good shocks on it ?
well i think suspension is a good thing. on a rough track i would want the front end to be able to travel as much as it needs to
Thats why I will have several different sized pucks . Mike knows what kind of tracks are in the ohio valley ....lol
