6 miles !! if only... I am 36 miles one way, the only way to live in Houston is to live as far as you can from it

 

Cooper, best price, best wear, low noise.

 

No noise from my LTZ's. However, they are an XL load rated tire. They are a bit stiffer in the sidewall than the stock 20" Wrangler car tires they put on there from the factory. I paid $160/tire shipped from Discounttiredirect.com They are up to $175 right now shipped


Chris1530, 1500series trucks don't need 10ply Load E rated tires. 6ply-C rated can actually be used. The more plies, the stiffer the ride!

Also, I think you know that you cannot get a diff. shock to compensate for ride quality while maintaining hauling capacity. That's what makes the 1500 series smoother than the 3500series suspensions.

 

What do you guys reccomend for replacement shocks. Ive been looking on line and I haven't seen any real reccomendations.

 

bilsteins. i went with rancho and theyre fine, but if i did it again...bilsteins

 

What Rancho's did you go with?

 

+2 on this. Im staying with the 17's mine will be coming with for this reason, granted mine is only a 1500 but I rather have something that will have a smooth ride and tire will be tough enough for what I will be doing.

I'm adding my $0.02 as well... so does that make it $0.04 or since I'm a girl... a whole nickle?

 

Went with the Bilstein's. Found them @eshocks.com for like $250 for all 4. Checked around, most want $80 each.
