Totally agree! Roadmasters made it a new truck. It does still do a little bit of wallowing but only when the road is really rutted. My 2012 OTOH, that had a bad case of DW that flung me across the road and back a few times before it settled down. A full rebuild and 5* caster fixed it for good.

So steer tires is the next step

i had my alignment checked at a commercial truck center and they said all measurements are fine with nothing to adjust,

Can't get much better than that with stock shims. Even the Camber is spot on, that -0.3 on the right is to help with road crown. Sounds like you suffer from the dreaded round steer tire issue.

Yes.In glad I had the alignment checked out

Next steps will be good steer tires…instead of the mixed use tires I have in the front


its funny I was going to get steer for the front and mixed use for the back and I don’t know why I changed directions.

So I just rotated my fronts side to side. 2nd rotation in 30K miles.

both fronts are at 9/32 across all of the tread.

this is with the roadmaster RM 170+.

Just throwing it out there as a good tire for the steer replacements.

Can't beat the price and they work well in snow.
