Re: getting ready for first pull and looking for tips
My wife ran with 20 lbs in the front I don't think we messed with the back tires.Her truck is a 99 dually.She did really well 216 feet stock truck.Ran in 2nd gear low range 4X4.I noticed you had auto maybe 1st gear 4X4 High.I suck at truck pulling so maybe you don't want to listen to me.
Re: getting ready for first pull and looking for tips
thanks for the front air pressure. what kind of pressure do ya run in the rear? i've been thinking about going down to about 35-40 psi in the rears.

Re: getting ready for first pull and looking for tips
I usually put the tires at about 25 front and 20 rear. It kinda depends on the track and how soft/hard it is and how well it is hooking up. I pull in 2nd gear 4low.
Re: getting ready for first pull and looking for tips
thanks geoff. it's a brand new track. they just laid down a couple tractor trailer loads of clay on it and considering are lack of rain i'm guessing it's going to be a bit soft.
