Well, I'm looking at getting some new shoes. I'm looking at going to a 35. Either the TSL 15/35 (15" or 16.5" rim) or the TSL/SX 35x15.5 (15" or 16.5" rim).
I'm currently running 33" TSL and love them. So, who is running/ran the SX? How do/did you like them?
Also, I'm going to go with some kind of beadlocks. So, what do you guys think of running a 12" rim? Would 10" be better?
I would like to do a SOA and go with the 38.5x14.5 SX, but the funding just isn't there.
Another reason for new shoes (beside the 33s are getting bald) is that they are (I believe) out of round. I get crazy death wobble if I hit a bump just right. I've replace/fixed/torqued to spec/checked the following:
- all the TRE's,
- new tunion bearings,
- new wheel bearings
- the spring bushings are only 2.5 years old
- no frame cracks that I know of
- I’ve tightened every thing from the steering box to the point were the steering shaft enters the fire wall
- tightened u-bolts to spec
- tightened shackles to spec
- adjusted toe-in to 1/4"
- put in 6* caster shims (in the correct orientation, ie fat end towards the front)
The only thing left is the actual steering box. I did notice some oil under the u-join to box connection.
Ultimately though, I would just like to have taller tires, plus (hopefully) it'll cure my death wobble. Besides, it's a good excuse to tell the wife I need new tires.
