Cool Gota rant a bit, traction whoaaa's from a roll

I used to like being able to blow the tires off at a given speed but lately it has taking some fun out of driving this thing. I have the CT bars on, adjusted, think I have a decent sticky tire( toyos), can blow the tires off at anything under 70. Is my only option to run DR's full time? I know on the street from a dig 2wd is but this roll bs is getting annoying also. I am about to say F it and start looking for a AWD front end, or buy a 4x4 diesel truck. This is just silly I kinda rolled hard into this, but still let out instantly, other wise smoke show for a few hundred feet.

Id step up to a drag radial and give it a try. At your power level, they probably woont hook down low, maybe even spin at that speed, but Im sure they will be quite a bit better.

you may even get them to hook from a low roll if your not one of the oddball people who cant do things right lol.

Once you go 4WD, you never go back. Its probably the most entertaining thing I can do in a given day. 10psi street launches

Why would you have a truck with that kind of power and expect to hook on anything less than a drag radial?

I don't expect a dead hook, but I have never had DR's on anything, so I do not no if they would be THAT much better.
