Tires are first and foremost, as the stock suspension is pretty darn good as it sits. I used to be able to light my 295/50/15 Radial TAs on the street at 60mph+

Let me just say that Mickey Thomson drag radials are a gift from the heavens. My trailing arms are reinforced with plate steel, and the rubber bushings are replaced with derlin bushings. My truck dead hooks at the track on 275/60/15 M/T DRs.....on air ride.

Good luck and nice work representing those of us with flying bricks
