What's a good drag tire to run for hard/medium packed dirt drags and field drags? I have brand new mud sharks for trails but gonna buy a seperate pair of rear rims and tires for drag only. Also probably gonna get a seperate swinger (stock and extend it or custom fabbed extended +4 or +6). To run a drag strut would I need a new upper shock mount or just change the lower with my drag only swinger?

The pro wedges are hard to find they have the same tread pattern as the Maxxis 4 snow and the ams zipper.

4snows are ok nothing like wedges tho. i have a brand new pair that i never use they get way sketchy at 90mph. btw im pretty positive ohtsu stopped production on the wedges 1&2 if u find a pair of 1s save ure money they arent very good they are pretty close to 4 snows but actually i think snows are better than the 1's ive heard a guy say he ran 2 10th faster by doing nothing but swap out 4 snows for wedge2's.

Realators suck. and thats my bike in the pic them are marvin shaws. when i had shaws on my stock bike i took shocks off and put bike jack under frame lower it till you get the height you want and measure eye to eye. i ran a stock swinger and a laegers +4 both using the link setup and it worked fine. Pretty sure i used 12 1/2-13"comp on back and the ones on my bike now on front are 13" (i think) comps they worked with stock a arms too.
