sure did! Still wanders in the freeway ruts but not nearly as bad and I can recover so I dont look like a drunk driver. It rides much better as well. I was wondering why ome stuff rode so bad but I take it back now.

Yeah, it's a common misconception that tires need to be aired up to the sidewall reccomendation, Especially when we go oversized. The stock recommended pressure on Trackicks is only 23 lbs, and with big stiff truck tires you can often go lower than that.

Airing the tires up to sidewall gets really annoying when you switch to the light truck tires to get the stronger sidewalls.  :)

drives real good now after camber adjustment. Wanders a little but not enough to really be bothersome. 65 mph is okay on the freeway now!
