softer shocks in the rear to move the weight faster. drop to 17's and run an m&h 17 inch dr with more sidewall.

I never had any luck with radials.. You need a slick.. Get some 17s and mount some hoosiers on them. We cut a 1.8 60ft with them stock stall ex cab sierra juicing 100shot off the line with no spin.

M&H or M/T imho. they both make an 18" tire. ive never had a problem cutting a 1.76-1.79 60' back to back with my old setup.
