[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 456609, member: 18877"] So, does this happen everywhere? That is a pretty wide tire, and I know when I moved up to the similar sized but almost an inch thinner 285/70/17 the vehicle handled differently on one particular road that I spent most of my time on while driving to work. It's an old road that has tire grooves that generally are unnoticeable until your tires are just a bit wider than them. What happens is that your tires (left and right) take turns falling into the groove. It's not a massive groove, 1/4 - 1/2 deep. Just enough for the wheels to have a preferred track. It's super annoying. I would go find a newly paved road to make sure that isn't what is going on. I had mine re-aligned to before I figured it out when part of the road got repaired. For that part it tracked perfectly straight. I have the same lift. Great lift. [/QUOTE]
