Red-Ford

So I went out and finally bought my lift kit (just purchased, not in hand, not installed), so on my way home (and mind you, I have already been driving the truck for about 2 hours), pretty much at my house we have a stop light, it was red so I stopped. When I went to go, the truck jerked and spun tires. It was the equivalent of if you rev your engine in neutral and put it in drive. I thought it was just me putting the foot on the gas too hard, but it did it again (did not shift, just spun tires a little bit, maybe at about 10 - 15 mph?) When I say it did it again, I mean when I went to go it spun, then a couple seconds later it did the same thing. I just got home, no intention of driving it until I have a general idea of what it could be.

tranny slipping

Is it that sudden tho? I've driven it for about a year now, and today was the only day its done that. Its been sunny for a few weeks, and today was the first good amount of rain. Could that have anything to do with it?

Empty bead wet roads tire spins. What tires do you have and what shape thay in? My tires spin all the time on my Mustang

What do you mean by "Empty bead"? I am on 35x12.5x17 Goodyear Fierce attitude, about 75% tread left, two tires have uneven wear, the sides of them got more warn down the other parts because he didn't have an alignment on his truck I'm guessing.

Check your transmission fluid. If it's low enough, slippage can happen.

fluid level is good, still a reddish color, does not appear or smell burnt.

Rear diff oil good? How about transfer case (takes ATF)?

If those are okay, you should unfortunately expect bigger tranny issues down the road.
