[Big Kev-O]

Speaking from experience, most of the head rattling jolting over bumps is caused by those 22” wheels and 35 series tires. I had trucks riding low on stock wheel and tire combos that cruised fairly smooth....when I finally got big wheels and low profile tires the ride quality dramatically decreased. All of those railroad tracks I cruised over on stock tire now rocked my brain.

Sure new trucks and SUVs come with R22/45s but they were engineered to control the excess weight of the wheel and lack of tire cushion. You can tweek with your springs and shocks all day long but you will never find a combo that make that wheel package rum smooth. Funny fact, when I purchased my 2011 Escalade it came equipped with 22” wheels. Optional upgrade was a 20” , I asked the dealer who would downsize, his response was “ some people want a smoother ride.

My opinion a truck on 22”s may as well lay frame and ride on bags. If you want a smooth riding truck stick with 20” or smaller and no more than a 4/6.
