That's crazy that you're frying them so bad! Anything under 40 mine fries, but at highway speeds (60+) I can mash it with no traction issues...although I am on heavy factory 20s with 275s.

Are you taking the truck to the track any time soon?

How much boost are you running? I could fry mine at 80 but I'd also have to be running 16lbs or so. At 12 I was fine...then again your and I's suspension is different as are our tires.

nitto 555r
mickey Thompson et drag radial

/traction problems.

my truck was a tire frier N/A anywhere in 1st gear. tried several different tires. with a 555r I could roll into the throttle from a dig and be into a 150 shot before 1st gear shifted out.

The 3.42's should help with traction. I just swapped from 3.73's to 3.08's in my brother's turbo car, it gave it more traction and made it slower...
