thanks, benmoderow. Pictures make it look better than it really does . I have a long way to go to get it like I want it. Just don't have the time to spend on it right now.

 

Cool, thanks Ted. I think I do have one tie rod end that has a little play in it, but other than that everything is pretty tight. Even the box has surprising little play for a $400 truck. Maybe it has already been replaced. The truck also has an aftermarket steering stabilizer already, but it is pretty old and I don't know if it even works anymore. I have some Chevy tie-rod ends and some DOM tubing laying here in anticipation of building a new tie rod, I guess I need to get off my rear and get it done. Just really surprised me how my handling went right down the crapper when I took the 33" Hankook radials off and put on the 36s. Night and day difference.

I do have to say that the Goodyears really shine off road. I was doing a little trail riding this weekend on a muddy trail, and hardly even spun a tire. My buddy was following me in his 95 F350 Crew with 35" Hankook mud tires and had a lot of troubles. His tires kept packing up and he had to use a lot of throttle to keep them clean. Mine stayed pretty clean and even when they did pack up in some sticky clay, a quick blip of the throttle cleaned them right out.

 

They are great for a cheap tire, that's for sure.
