How do you mean ... grass, dirt, pavement? Are you using highway tires or ATs? Running with or without weight?

well im building my truck up the rt way now and Im afraid I will not get any traction considering that I am increasing the hp considerably... its for the street... w/o weight typically, I am wanting to keep the backend from dancing around and hopping

I don't think anything really changes between 4wd and 2wd in the rear of these trucks except the ride height.

If you're putting that much money into the truck, a set of custom ladder bars ain't all that hard to make
