Tug o war question

Well I raced my buddies 07 Dodge 3500 dually tonight. Beat him in the race Another win for the Duramax's.

We went down to the mall after and hooked the towrope up. I had him at first but when my tires started spinnin' he destroyed me.
Does anyone have any tips on tug o war?

In theory I should have more traction because my truck is lifted so his truck would be pulling the back of my truck down giving more traction. Correct me if I am wrong?

my advice is to do nothing and leave it be.

hooking trucks proves absoluely nothing except who has better traction...

plus it's just plain retarded IMHO.

Lol I understand that it proves nothing, it's just fun and games is all.
I am assuming doing this in 4wd is a pretty horrible idea?

you did it in 2wd? no wonder you lost lol



if you really wanna do it use 4 low and find a scale to weight both trucks...then add ballast till its even..


its all about traction not power...


thats a 3.9l vs a 7.3l
