I have never had this issue on the right side. Any ideas why I would be having an issue now?
That is typical, at least for me. I put the same size tires on my truck with a leveling kit and still had to trim a little bit. The trimming gets REAL interesting when you shove 33" tires on...with just a leveling kit. Ask me how I know....

I was thinking that would be the case. I might wait till next month till I put new tires on the truck. These ones are already gone. I bought them last year and they couldn't fight there way out wet paper bag. So ill get the right size tire on and see if that works. If not then some trimming will be in order. Thanks for the help.


How do you get 33" tires on a leveling kit lol. I'm still trying to figure that out lol

Well with the new discs and new monroe pads I have on the truck now stops much better and way smoother. Was able to remove the the old rivets from the mud flap trim and make new holes and put new rivets in the bottom on both sides to push them in so no more grinding.

Already feels like it used to when i first bought it. the shake is still there ( kinda ) gonna rotate the tire this week hopefully. I've desided to replace the tie rod ends before an alignment. Since they don't have much time left on them( 6 months at best ). But so far the ride seems much smoother
