i think what helped the bfg dr's hook so good for me was due to the fact that my rear end is only lowered 1". so that kinda made the whole truck lean towards the rear end and subsequently helping in the weight transfer when i took off. they look funny as hell on a normal stance truck. people were pointing and laughing their asses off the first few passes i made until i beat the **** out of everyone i ran. but i thought they did an outstanding job for me.

I plan on making a few passes Friday with my 20s on and then start dropping weight from the truck and swapping to the 26" tall M/Ts. If they don't laugh at me I will be disappointed. It is going to look goofy as a road lizard. I have a couple of LT1 buddies that better watch out if I can get this thing to hook on the smaller wheels. 
They are running 14.1-14.2. I may be knocking on the door.
