I checked the front tires pressure and they were at 35 psi when they should be at 26 psi. I lowered them and it made a diference. Yesterday I bought some meaty LT tires with a 10 ply sidewall and have the front tires psi to 24 and the slop/roughness is back. What do you guys think I need to do to get rid of it? Do you think it is bushings, shocks, or the damper not doing it's job? Also, I plan on doing the OME HD setup with shocks. Does that setup work good with LT tires? Thanks in advance.
