how can I get my truck to hook up
I have an 01 ram for sled pulling and I need help to get traction. I have clamped the springs, installed stop blocks, and have traction bars. I run mastercraft ct tires. The truck just spins for the first 100 feet. I even tried moving the hitch in on the frame but then the truck would just spin and hop. In the class we have there are no hanging weights.

o you mean you have no traction at all or at 100 feet it grabs? You want wheel speed and spin along with some bite. I dont know what those tires are like or what you mods are and such for pulling, so it hard to tell you what you need. Might need better tires, might be able to air the fronts down to 30 and keep the rears up buy 50 60. Do you run wieght in the bed?
