I forgot to mention. I run 35psi in them just as if they were factory tires. They were pretty rough at 40psi and it was noticeable going down to 35. 50psi is what they can hold, but I wouldn't drive around with that psi unless you are hauling heavy weight around frequently.

Alright thanks for all the info! Im glad nothing was wrong or anything. Ya they ride a little rougher then before but now I dont get stuck everywhere I go in 2wd. They are a litttle louder than stock but nothing bad at all.
again thanks everyone!

Air 'em down a bit, might wear a smidge faster and cost you a fraction of a mile per gallon, but it will let them absorb a little of the bumps.

Always been why I've been a huge fan of 17" wheels with tires smaller than 35". You just don't have the sidewall flex that the extra 3" of sidewall affords you. There ain't no telling how many guys in my hunting club show up with a brand new truck with pretty 20" wheels, then learn the hard way off road! Most show up the next hunting season with the smallest wheels their brake calipers will allow.
I'd have 15" wheels on mine if I could fit 'em!!!

I agree if you dont have the sidewall it can suck sometimes but I dont feel any bumps with the 17's and I think I need to up the psi in mine the keep looking a little low
