Hello all
About a month ago I put a set of 35x12.5x17 Toyo M/T's on my new 08 Ram with a leveling kit. Since than I have noticed a pull to the right. So tonight I stoped in at the tire shop to ask them about it and they said that "They have been noticing that lately some of the 35" tires are pulling to the right especially on Dodges". They said the only fix that they have found is to replace the lower ball joint with a aftermarket ball joint that has more adjustment in it. The tire shop I go to is great to work with they said that they will give me full credit on the tires and we can get something new. That being said I really like thhe toyos and they hold up extremely well so that is kinda of what I would like to go with, but it looks like I may want to make a change.

So my questions are:
Has anyone else experinced this problem with 35" Toyos (only the M/T)?

Has anyone replaced the ball joint "thing"

What size in height is a 315 70 17

Thanks for you help

that doesnt sound like a ball joint thing... that sounds like an alignment "thing"

 

I would go talk to an allignment shop about it first before doing anything else.

 

315/70/17 is a 35

 

I agee there, the only time a ball joint causes problems is when its worn way out.

 

Maybe I did a bad job of explaining it, but they told me there is not enough adjustment in the stock componets to correct this. So does this sound fishy to you people also? The tire shop I go to is also a alignment shop I had them do the whole package leveling kit, alignment, and new tires.

So does anyone know how much adjustment there is in the 3/4 ton front end?

Has anyone also had this issue?

I have 35's on my truck. This is the 3rd truck I've owned with 35's. Two with body lifts and this latest with a suspension lift. I also have a ton of hunting/fishing/4x4 buddies with 35" or larger tires and I'm not saying they are blowing smoke up your ***, but I've never heard of it.

Although I will say that the last guy I helped do a level kit and add bigger tires, it pulled right real bad until he got an alignment. That fixed it...

 

you should definitely be able to go somewhere and have this thing aligned... i know tons of people with our trucks on 35's... heck about half the ctd section is...

 

Yea I understand. It was aligned after the leveling kit and alignment is correct. the guy at the tire shop said it is only the Toyo M/T'sin the 35 inch size that they have been seeing this problem in and only recently. They said that they can't explain why it happens. But I'm kind of courious if there is some smoke blowing going on around there. It sounds like no one else has experinced this kind problem with this tire.

 

I would make them align it again, and take it to another shop after that if it didn't correct it. as said before, sounds like they didnt do it right.
