[QUOTE="taquitos, post: 1936316, member: 65456"] My theory is the tie rods are sized properly for doing these things with 35” tires but maybe a little undersized for 37s. I have a 35 and have hit larger things than that going faster than that with zero issues. Maybe it’s luck, but I have a feeling it’s tire size. The extra inch of travel can’t hurt either. The shocks have a load sensing valve (they call it a boost valve). This reacts to large impacts even faster than live valve can. Essentially with enough flow the shock will make itself extra stiff at bottom of travel no matter what. It’s a good thing to have, but if the tie rods are already questionably sized for larger tires then an unusually high damping force could be the tipping point. That said still better than bottoming out. It sounds like you have a bit of a lemon. It’s a shame this generation is lacking in quality. I feel like I’ve been lucky to only have warrantied all the shocks, the windshield wiper motors, exhaust installation, and needed a bunch of module updates. I would have said it was crazy to have all that for a truck that’s about a year old before. [/QUOTE]
