New rubber...

It was time to bite the bullet and buy some new tires for the 250.

The 37" tires have created a need for better steering stabilizer, since the tires weigh almost 100 lbs each and are 14" wide. I just ordered a Superlift dual stabilizer kit to keep things in check. Also, when I lifted the front end, I didn't change the track bar at all, so the axle shifted about an inch toward the driver side of the truck. This was not a big deal until I put these larger tires on. Now the right front tire rubs on the radius arm when making a tight right turn. I have ordered an Icon Dynamics adjustable track bar to shift the axle back toward the driver side of the truck. So, this weekend, I will be installing the dual stabilizer and adjustable track bar on the truck. Wish me luck!

Those look nice. Now I want to see some dirty muddin' pics. Put those tires to use and get them off the asphalt.
