id set the rears to 50 or your just loosing hitch height when they squat. theres plenty of down pressure for traction on the rear.

Well apparently the track was pretty bad or maybe the sled. There was a p-pumped 24 valve there pushing about 900 horseys that only pulled 209 and got beat by close to stock trucks. My first pull I ran third gear low range and pulled 200 foot even and felt I could give 4th gear low range a try. In 4low I got the sled moving no problem and was running right around 3400 rpm doing great. Then I pulled the rookie mistake, I felt like I really wasnt getting anywhere and let out of it slightly bigggg mistake RPMs dropped to 1000 and wouldnt come back up I started to roll massive amounts of coal and she stalled out. I went to back up to let em unhook me and I pushed the clutch to the floor and low and behold the truck didnt stop. Well I got it home and we are pulling it apart tomorrow.
