I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW:

TIRE PRESSURE??

depends on the tire but usually between 20-30psi up front basically you want the area wher ethe tread is to be flat and all of it touching the ground. In the rear anywehere between 45-55psi

WHAT ARE T-BARS AND HOW LOW SHOULD THEY BE? (ANOTHER MEMBER INFORMED ME ON THEM)

all the way down, take the bolts out

heres how to do it

How To Adjust Your Torsion Bars



WEIGHT ON THE FRONT???

if allowed you want to hang as much up front as possible but youll have to build a weight bracket

WHAT GEAR SHOULD I PULL IN ???(ALLY 5 SPEED)

put it in 4low stick it in 3rd and let the allison do the rest, at the end of the track when the red flag is dropped push forward and up on the shifter. this will put you in nuetral. if you dont do this the truck can die as the TC wont unlock quick enough

BEST ALL AROUND TIRE AND SIZE???

Really depends on your track. But no matter what if you want the best tire it has to never see pavement. And you usually want an allterrain. BFG ATs are a common choice. TRXUS STSs are good but take a lot of power. I run Bridgestone Dueler AT 695s 315.70R17 and have been very pleased with them. The best size is something 12.5" wide by 33-35" tall.

I AM IN NORTH CAROLINA AND WANT TO PULL LOCALLY I WAS HOPING THAT SOME OF U WESTERNERS AND NORTHERNERS CAN EDUCATE ME CAUSE I AM A NEWBEEEEE!!

this is funny, there arent very many pulls in the west, californias EPA tries to shut them all down

ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

hope this does help

CAN ANYONE REFER ME TO SOME HOW TO WEBSITES??/

yes i can here are the links to my write ups on how to pull

"How to Pull" Part 1: Truck Setup
"How To Pull" Part 2: What to do at the track.
"How To Pull" Part 3: Gettin' er' down the track.

yes they are an alternative to traction bars if you only want to pull a couple times and dont want to build a set of bars.
