I am running 33" BFG All Terrain Tires on my truck. What air pressure are you guys running in say a 6200-6400 class. Also is anyone running 35"BFG's. I havae a buddy who is running them and has trouble with the truck bouncing. Takes them off and puts on the 35" boggers and the truck runs fine. I am in Virginia so I do not compete with you all so if you want to email me instead of posting on here thats fine. any help would be appreciative.
Almost everyone in Indiana Truck Pullers Association 4wd Super Stock runs 35" BFGs and they lay down nice.

thats the problem we are having with his truck it seems those tires do it. On a smooth track its not bad but if it ever bounces one time its almost impossible to settle it down. Just wondering if we are off on air pressure
OK here's the anailage we use in pulling.
Front tires are like Basketballs if it's full of air it will bounce to no end. but drop the pressure to half and it just lies there like a lump an a log.
I run my front tire pressure at 12 to 15 depending on the track every once in a while I'll go as low as 10 Psi.
Rear tires depending on the type of sled are at 28 to 35. with an occasional 18 on the long cable type sled.
Hope this helps
