I was thinking of entering in the mud drags around here where I live in the pro stock, up to 6 inch lift and 36s, minor engine mods...questions 4wd high or 4wd low for the mud pit? also how should I go about keeping the mud off the air filter and engine, its pretty sloppy...

 

4lo as far as the mud out run it!

 

anything else I should do?

 

find someone u can get some mud tires from

 

I have bfg muds, not what you are talking about im guessing

 

I dont know what the mud bog there are like but the ones around here anything smaller then a 38 doesnt stand a chance.Also there is a big difference from a mt and a mud tire.If its a good mud bog a mt wont cut it.

 

sorry i dnt read were u had bfgs sorry.

 

Well the pro stock class is up to 36 inch tires so Ima go in that class with my 35s

 

well jus hammer down keep them tires movin. i know them mud bogs get sloppy quick

yes sir cause or trucks are heavy they sink quick trust me i know

 

what about the tires should I air them down?

 

Well I run a 77 F-150 single cab step side... granted i have a 460 Making well over 425 hp and 4.11 gears Running 38' TSL's I run 8# rear and 35-40 Front you want the rear to hook up and you want the front to stay skinny so they dont make like a plow

I dont let off tell 1 of 3 thangs happens... Im STUCK im out the end or my tires are facing skywards....

I'd run in 4-High in 1st gear... You want those BFG M/T's spinning as fast as you can to clean them out and you want as much speed/momentum as possible. 4-Low in 1st will be way too slow and you don't need the added torque just for mudding, especially since you have 35's (nothing crazy like 40's) and you're not pulling out a buddy stuck in his fullsize... Hit it hard and fast.

All the guys I know air-down all 4 tires... That's interesting 77mud, I've never heard that before, we'll have to try it!

If you have a CAI, buy a water proof Outerwears cover/sock for it. It'd also be a good idea to buy some black vinyl and extend the inner fender wall down some to help keep mud/water for splashing in, especially on the drivers side.

If it's a real wet pit, with a lot of deep standing water it might be a good idea to extend your breather hoses for you diffs, t-case, and tranny.

 

Thats about what our drag pits like... ruffly 12-18"s of mud...

Our bog pit on a good night if i dont make it out you cant see my 38's ive had mud rolling into the bed of my truck
