I have 325/55-22 on mine and have a bounce. Going to a 20 inch rim to see if the side to side will go away. Fabbed a steering stabalizer to control it but it comes back around 62-68 mph. Does anyone else have this prob?Sorry to hijack the post. Thanks.

Make sure we get some pictures after your install, I've looked at those Kumhos myself, I'm curious as to how they look! Btw, good thing you are going to a 38. Those 35's look small on your truck!

RawRam had 38x15.50 Mud Grapplers on his '09 with 10" of lift and they rubbed pretty bad if I remember right

I'm pretty sure he had 20x12 wheels with a huge offset. Not to mention those mud grapplers measure almost 16 inches wide. Mine are about 2 inches narrower so I should be alright. Or at least I hope. We'll see next week ordered the rims yesterday. 18x10 moto metal wheels 961.
