stock tires can hook depending how aggressive they are. A good set of A/T's would be alot better. Basically just get you some tractor weights or some kind of weight and put it as far back in the bed as possible to towards the tail gate. Proabably just keep it in 1st gear aswell. 2nd gear might be too much, but you can try it. Block the rear suspension up solid or 1" of travel if the rules call for it. Traction bars are a plus aswell also get your hitch height as high as they will let you, but if its too high, be sure you brace everything up to keep from bending or breaking your hitch.

Also 2wd Sled Puller did you tie what looked to be water containers down and if so how? That seems a easy way to add weight with very little work. This is just for fun but I dont want to make a total fool of myself.

i have no idea what ground speed i get. i log 19-22mph wheel speed sitting on an un locked converter for 90% of the pull think i need to try and grab second.
