    the only reason why i wanna go to the 29.5" bc i was going to run them on the street and the track. i was told go 4:30s but i already have 4:10s.

    imma have to throw the juice on it
    i can get the 12.9 pass in cooler weather but i want it to run 12s in the heat too you know?

    im just wanting a fast DD family ride lol. this will be the last truck unless it gets stolen or wrecked beyond repair.

    im upgrading to a 2 peice drive shaft no matter what.

    A 4.10 gear alone will put you in the 12s on the hottest day. Traction will clearly be an issue from a dig, with that steep of a gear. The caltracs will help, and I agree with skeet. Don't up the tire size for traction, you'll effectively reduce the gear ratio in doing so. My question to you is, what gear and rpm do trap at right now?

    on 28" M&H DR i trap in 3rd at like 5k or so.

    the only reason why i want the 29.5" DR is bc im planning on running on DRs all the time. unless we go on long distant trip then ill throw a different rim on.

    all my street races are 25-30mph then some at 55-60 but i dont run past 100 on these 3:42s an the 1 peice drive shaft.

    this is the way it takes off at a 25 punch spinning and i hit the brakes at 80
    the other truck is a 05 CCSB with a 224/224 .581 110 5.3 a 3600 converter full bolt on with a Truckshop tune.

    I think you won, and that was sweet! Even with a taller tire on the street, when you put the 4.10 gears in you're still gonna spin. The street is hard to hook on when you make that much power in a truck. You can always start with the gear swap, and caltracs with the tire you have on now. If you wan't to swap tires later, then so be it.

    i need tires either way, they are 265/70/17s so theyre not wide at all. i could run a shorter tire on 3:42s but theyre arent many choices. i seen a 265/65/17 thats like 30.1" tall which would allow me to run a 29.5" DR in the rear without having it too noticeable.

    this is what im wanting to run 24/7 on the CC, my 28" DRs are just like this but the ones for the 16" rims. it doesnt spin like my stockers do, even on 30psi it hooks just fine.
