if your truck won't do it then you ain't doing it right.

hold your left foot on the brake while putting your right foot on the gas.....hold the brake steady and slowly put on the gas but don't let it roll forward. When you get to about 1500 RPM it should start spinning.

all this works....IF you have an automatic, a manual is a different story.

Get you the 3.92 rear end gears, its much better and funner, i Noticed that if i want to smoke them by just puncing it, the engin has to be kinda cool, Get you a 180 t-stat, it might help.

spinnin makes u slower in times, and makes you buy more tires. so, i say keep what sense, and what rubber you have left, and keep movin forward, instead of tryin to show off and look like a complete idiot. Thank Ya!!

i think the jet gen 2 helps to spin the tires(I'm getting that next)

I've gotten a them to slip a bit a couple times, but I really can't spin them w/o power brakeing

I bet if u keep power braking and whore them down u could spin them then...lol

If you like to drag, smokin tires sux sounds like you are set up pretty good. Leave well enough alone carry a water bottle and gator bite that what i use to heat up the meat at the drag strip. Makes alot of pretty smoke.
