Default Liftin' em with Bolt Ons

Does anyone here pull their front end completely off the ground with just bolt ons? If so, what all do you have done, and what 60 ft does it take?

That's me!!
4.33s, 1.56s usually! 1.53 being the best. We launch at 6k! ET Drags are working better, smaller diameter and carry the RPMs on the top end (6400+).
ET Streets 26x11.5x15 vs Drags 26x10x15 on centerline Warrior 15x10 rims.

My ET Streets are tubed and screwed, so they are way too heavy. and the fronts are the 8ply M/T Sportsmans, once again heavy.

I am considering getting a different set of rims due to the weight of these....

Ok guys i know this is a little off topic! I'm not a big drag slick guy or e.t. street for that matter, i always run a drag radial. but do you think a hoosier drag slick will be overkill for a bolt-on car? i have a guy that is selling some at pretty good price I mean dirt cheap. and they are practically brand new. i would hate to pass this up.

If the size is what you want/need the go for it.
Unless you are limited by a class then run what ever tire you want.

I want to put some DRs on my car and see if it would pick up......the radial might be less resistance.....

I can pull one off the ground with the little BOs I do have. Too bad I will never see if I can do both tires SI and full BOs.

not sure if the pic in my sig counts for much (wussy 1" under the left tire) but if you consider i have 2.73's and not even full boltons AND stock wheels- well 3.73's and skinnies im fairly confident it would come up a bit more .

so basically yes you can easily pull both wheels with a good stall/gear/tire setup.
