I like running the M/T dr's. The best 60' i have cut with them with this truck is 1.605 on stock suspension.

I have (4) 275/55/16 M&H DR's for the fall on all corners of my truck. I can update then however on the street (testing) they are a nice improvement,...the logs indicate a better 60ft and no spin (that I can see). I am crossing my fingers for some 1.5's 60fts...if nothing breaks

OOoopps I forgot to put in my 2 cents I think my M&H Drag Radials hooked up better than my M&H Cheater slicks even though my truck wasnt as fast back then so im not really comparing apples to apples.
