Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside

Hey Chuck, you haven't asked for opinions or help, but I figured I'd toss this out there in case you hadn't thought of it. Ignore this if you don't think it applies.

I don't know the symptoms, so I can't really tell what's going on, but if it feels like it could be the wheels and tires (the reason you went with a smaller wheel than the 20s), you might look at your shocks, ball joints, wheel bearings, control arm bushings, etc. Basically check out the soft and wear parts of your suspension. They can amplify any minor vibrations from small road imperfections, which make a low profile tire ride like garbage. Sometimes just adding grease to the greasable parts like ball joints will improve the ride a bit.

Definitely check out your drive shaft if you feel like it needs some attention.
