Naw... somethings not right. You mean to tell me your spinning ET streets on just a 2#er?

Inflate them to 18psi then do THIS (14mb)

Maybe you can get something out of my experience.

The only suspension changes I made originally - truk traks, 3" lowering shackles running 28x16x10 Hoosiers. I was regularly spinning off the line.

I dumped the truk traks and installed the JLP 58" bars, removed the front swaybar and finally saw traction off the line.

Prior to the 58" bars I was running on 12lbs pressure to grab off the line, but that was only running the 1/8th. Now I can run 16lbs no problem.

I agree with the comments above, you need to run slicks in my opinion.

good luck
