[QUOTE="Wassy, post: 873802, member: 15971"] [b]HELP! horrible ride quality[/b] Hey all- I'm at wits end here. When we bought the raptor I put in fuel hostage II (I think) and Toyo's new R/T. 20" all around. A bit lower offset so tired stick out a tad. Looks great. From day 1, drive was horrible. Not smooth, bumpy and steering wheel was wobbly and shakes. Had balanced no less then 10 times at multiple places. Replaced tires, wasn't happy and went back to the RT's which were the best of the 2 evils. We loved with it. Now we have about 4000 miles on the setup. No other alterations to suspension. Last 2 weeks the truck feels like I'm driving in studs or over a bed of egg rocks. Also feels a little like wheels are loose, at least to my mind.
