Drag radials?
They just want to sell you tires! Post videos of your car launching in August

Michael beard has been running MT radials for a while and may be able to help if he chimes in

Beard had over 400 runs on his Mickey 29.5x10.5s and has gone to a 31x13.5 is what I saw on Facebook.

Don't tell my Lakewood 50/50 shocks that.
Replaced the 1997 Atlas non gas shocks in 2015 because the bushing rubbers were degrading.
1.36 to 1.40 short times on a 9" radial, hot, cold, and in between. Since 2001

I’d worry about making the front end work long before I worried about rear shocks.

Similar to Goob, I have 20 year-old Rancho 5-way adjustables in the rear that cross-reference to a Jeep Cherokee. I have had to replace the bushings once.

I’d get some radials on there (3076R or 3374R) and if it doesn’t want to work, start with the front end. Once you get it working, if you want to tighten things up a little more then move to the rear.
