I wouldn't do 4x4 low, your asking to snap something. All you have to do is get him to spin the wheels, and your good to go.

I would go with 4 low we have never had a prob with it, and unless the dmax has tierod sleeves he will probably break so you should have no problem winning

If your truck sits higher in the rear that helps alot.

make sure your hook point is as high as it can be (higher then his) and use a short strap. 4-low, build some boost with teh brake before you let off of it. Dont smoke your tires, just a little bit of scratching seems to work best. Remember, this is not a power thing, its a traction thing.
