Ive had my 22"s on my truck for about 6 months now. When i first installed them my ride was great, better then with the stock rims. But now the ride is horrible, anytime i hit a pothole i nearly jump lanes. About 3 months before I got the rims installed i got new shocks installed, monroe sensatrac. The shocks are still fine. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem?

hmmm.. explain 'jump lanes'.
are we talking about excessive up/down rebound?
or are we talking jerking sideways?

give it a basic front end check.
start with truck on ground, grab tire at top and pull/push hard as you can. any movement? (brgs/ball joints)
jack up truck. grab top/botton of tire and wiggle. grab front/rear and wiggle. (wheel brgs?)
check closely at tie rods, ball joints. my first guess would be tie rod ends, which would probably produce some side/side play, possibly accelerated by very wide wheel/tires, maybe not.

 

Sorry should of been more descriptive i was exhausted when i wrote the post last night. It first got real bad when I noticed that i had a leaking shock. I replaced it and it fixed the left to right jumping I had, the jumping lanes. But im just driving down the highway and it feels like im driving down a dirt road in mexico.

 

How low profile of a tire do you have? One problem with big rims and low profile tires that I have had some buddies run into, is that if you hit a pothole or anything, you might have bent a rim.

 

side to side is the death wobble.
google it and you will find tons of write ups on the 2nd gen's with the death wobble. see if what you feel is what is described in those articles.
look through this site.

yea it is tipical for these dodges to do that i had 295 50 15 on 15x10 rims and it will to that same thing but i git the stock and it doesnt do it now its just that since it did not come with wide tires it is not used to it and it never will be. just got to live with it.

 

What is your tire pressure set at?

 

yeah its only up and down now, do you guys know of any shocks that can give you a better ride? As soon as i installed these the ride worsened. And im runing 41 psi
