Where's the rest of the suspension? Where is the torque arm located, relocation brackets, tire pressure, shocks make a difference but it's probably a combo of things.

I run my fronts at 1 and my rears are 50/50, qa1 rears I would try at 5/5 or 6/6. I leave my fronts loose but limit the front travel so it's about 2.5" on mine.

I had those same tires and they worked great off the footbrake......
and they always smoked them off the transbrake.
That was N/A.
