Default 4wd launch guys - at what point did you go drag radials on all 4's?

Hey guys, I'm currently running a conservative tune 12psi and I can foot brake to 3200 and the truck hooks and goes. I would guess my 31.5" tall tires are helping things quite a bit. That and the tall 3.42 gears. At what point did y'all get some DR's? I imagine going from a 31.5" to a 28" drag radial would make a tremendous difference.

Do you have traction bars or limiting straps?

I have limit straps but no traction bars. Just upgraded adjustable rancho shocks.
