    does your truck hook up?in order to hall ass ,you got to get out of the hole.i know because i two have a truck,but my truck hooks man like you have never seen.it ways in at 4200lbs and i can pull high 11s.i recently ran a 2.35 second 100 footer. that is 0 to 56 miles in 2.35 seconds. are you running coils or leafs on the back? i think you have coils with a two point.leafs are easy to get traction out of without spending thousands. you have the right gears .what you need to start with is getting your pinion angle downward 4 degrees.with wedges you can by anywhere for about 10 bucks.what this does is first of all,stops bunny hopping.by pushing down your pinion 4 degrees ,it allows weight to be transfered from the front to to rear pushing downward on the tires.also ,when under load the drive shaft is in a more straight alighnment ,which is easier on u joints and allows for better hp transfer.next you need a simple pinion snubber,this is can come in the form of traction bars or just a stop welded above the pinion. what this does is , as the drive shafts moves upward under load the pinon snubberstopps it fromm moving too far upward.when the rear is stopped from moving up too far it forces the front of the truck to lift in the front ,again helping weight transfer to the back wheels pushing them down harderon to the pavement.one last thing for good hook is a set of sticky tires like mickey thompson drag radials or e.t streets.on a truck you can get monsters under there.now all you need is the horsepower to plant.nitrous helps .you could try a 100hp shot but be carefull and jet properely and make sure to obey by what it tells you to do.i run a 250 hp shot no prblem and i kick but on just about everything .people cannot believe how hwrd my truck hooks.i have beaten 04 zr1 corvettes,chrysler magnums-400hp and just about every muscle car in my city.
