Moregrip, Go to duramaxdiesels dot com and ask how the 2 wheel guys runng 1100-2000 RWTQ are doing it.
I believe they are using custom ladder bars to help with traction.
Also Guy Tripp SO-Cal Diesel might be able to help as he custom fabs a lot of high quality stuff for the 2500HD's.
I need to do something also with my 1/2 ton, damn thing is like driving on ice in 2 wheel drive, but also lots of fun!

so to re-address this.......been batting around the idea of changing the 4.10's out to 3.42's, throwing a traction device of some sort out back, and then fitting the widest tires I can stuff in there before I rub leaf springs......thoughts?

Pretty much what I'm going to do. Im running 3.42s now. Keeping them and going to run an Eaton posi, cal tracs, and some wide rear tires. I thought about going 4.10s. Its been suggested by a few on this site. But with pretty much no traction now, I don't see how its going to get better with lower gears. Im only running a cammed 6.0, any punch under 50mph hazes the tires bigger than **** as it sits. I feel your pain too. Ive had a few people on the road begging me to blow their doors off. I don't even bite.

She ain't gonna be much of a track truck after the swapping gears but she'll be alot better on the highway.......after reviewing your comments, I do have an option to drop down to 3.21's I believe....hmm

I guess it comes down to how often you take you run at the track. The way I see it; I'd rather enjoy my ride on the street rather than have the fastest 1/4 mi time possible out of it. Besides I have better stuff to do then sit in a line on Friday night, drive fast for say 12 sec's, then get back in line.

lmao! Maybe I should just get rid of it!
on another note.....looks like the only source of 3.21's are used factory units for my 10.5 14bolt

Did you want to run that specific ratio, or just looking for something taller? Roots style blowers put down so much torque, I don't think a 3.08 would hurt performance off the line that bad. In fact, I'd put a small (very small, lol) amount of money that it would be faster off the line. Not sure if they make that ratio for your setup tho. I haven't really researched anything past a 8.6 10 bolt.
