I would look at a hydraulic ram assist for helping you move the bigger tires.

The stabilizer helps reduce bump steer when going over rough surfaces.

The hydraulic ram assist would tap into the power steering pump and provide additional force to move the much heavier than stock wheel and tire combo.

You can pull your steering gear box drill and tap two spots upper and lower and use that to drive a hydraulic ram or go through PSC. It will stabilize the steering too.

Not sure I would want to drill into my power steering box honestly. When the truck gets lifted I'll do the stabilizers and if I feel it's necessary to add more, I'll do some more research on the hydraulic setup.

Thanks for looking out!

Well the truck is finally going into the body shop for all my paint work and what not.

Mirrors, grill, headlights, recon taillights, interior, platinum plaque on tailgate are all getting paint matched. Emblems are being painted gloss black as well as other little accents.

Retrocustomz Ipad in dash kit with EZLynk PPEI Tunes will be on the truck soon.
(I will have 3 dash kits in stock in a few weeks if anyone is interested)

And then I think it's finally time for a lift and some wheels as well as train horns
