I have been very happy with my bfg's, and you want to go bigger on the tire. like a 285 and run 2nd high.

just know there is always a chance you could break something.

2.8 class ( maybe 2.6 if your silver bullet passes tech)

and if your gonna keep that stock tire 2nd high if you would still be a good choice ( 4th low is a big gear with 3.55's)

2nd high would be a better choice i think... never pulled mine but if i do that will be where i start... might try 4 lo 2nd hook just to compare though..

i know around here before season starts we have a test and tune. this is a good place to start. try it in a gear where you wont have to slip it much at all to get it hooked. true made sled pulling clutches are high.
