didn't think i would have to clarify once the truck is done the pull, unhooked and pulling away and while the sled is moving back, and before track maintenance starts to fill the ruts.
lol

I'm still waiting to hear how many 4wd drive programs you have been involved in.
4wd i mostly play with are on drag strips and off road, not much in the pulling.

However maybe you should go back and look at all the cars up until the 2000's and see when suddenly they all started using the techniques i was long before them.

I can tell you that one of those techniques will most definitely apply in pulling, but you know it already.

I was not worried about the tire size with the extra weight hung on the front. I thought a better way to get a close number would be to measure the height difference with the weight box off and just the weight of the truck on the tires.

My thoughts were that would give a pretty close measurement for tire size going down the track, I very well could be wrong but that's what I was thinking
