Default New shoes for the truck!

Got them installed yesterday, happy with them so far. Firestone Destination A/T's, 315/70/17 Load Range E! The most amazing thing is they do not rub the control arms at ALL at full lock like my old 35's did. I get NO rubbing! Awesome! Now on to the pics. They are not as agressive as the Pro Comp XAT's they replaced, but maybe I'll get more than 30k miles out of these.







Paid $920 out the door. This included lifetime balancing, road hazard, and a lifetime alignment... I also had them dismount my stock spare and take the best 35" pro comp and mount it on my spare wheel, so I'd have something close to a fullsize spare if I ever needed it. Very happy so far.

HAHAHA... If you read my other thread in the 3rd gen Dodge forum, the truck was just at the dealer getting the carrier bearing replaced in the rear driveshaft, under warranty, thank GOD!.. So they washed the truck before giving it back LOL.

Yup, I wasn't sure of what to think of this Dodge dealer. I normally take my truck to a different Dodge dealer for warranty work, but this one was close to my work, so I decided to take it there. Impressed with the service, and the quickness.

Only 30k out of your old tires. That sucks. I have almost 20k on my kumhos and they still have an easy 80% left. You wouldnt know they where worn if youve never seen them and they didnt have all the rock slits in them. And that with a bit of tire spin every now and then. O yeah, looks like they'll be good rubber, and no rub is always good

Yeah.. I had more than one issue with the procomps, and 4 wheel parts. I will never buy a pro comp product, or buy from 4wp again.
