My truck has seven" of lift and I'm wondering about a good tire combo for the track. I'v e got some 34" nittos that seem to work good but I haven't ran with them yet. The truck has 3.73 gears. Give me some good input.

My friend Matt ( PourNcoal) uses a 33" toyo proxes for the strip , he has a 6" lifted crew cab . you can pm him for more details . i think a shorter tire would maybe run a little faster but the 33's still look decent while racing . beware though once the power is up around 650-700 slicks are almost a must for anything past 1.75 range . with your built motor it may be something to think about .

Yes I am in that power range. I am going to do some ladder bars to help with the rearend movement. I think I will place them on top of the axle instead of under. I'm sure slicks would help a lot. I haven't left at more than 10 lbs boost at the strip. I will test out the new motor this weekend provided there is good weather here.
