Leveled TRX Feels Unplanted at WOT

Don't mean to hijack this but think it is a valid question for anyone lowering pressure to fix the front end issue.

Anyone getting weird wear patterns on your tires with the lower pressures? I have 37" Toyo RTs but they have realllll stiff sidewalls at 38 psi. I'd love to lower the pressure but don't want them to wear uneven or anything.

Just do a chalk test to see what pressure you need.

How dare you come here with a logical statement.

Didn't even cross my mind ha.

Blaster tried to make me do it but I was too lazy so I just used his pressures and it totally changed my truck

Wow, This thread has me concerned. I ordered the Eibach Pro Lift Kit and am preparing to have it installed. I plan to add Vossen HF-6-5's and 37's later. After reading all of this, I am rethinking that set of moves.

I may have a Eibach Pro Lift Kit for sale soon.

I have the lift, Vossens w/37 and an extra 130ish hp, I don’t have a problem

That’s good to know. Are you running Grapplers?

Grappler Recons 37/13.5

Not a problem at the right PSI.

@ParadigmDawg does the change in psi effect your mpg?

No earthly idea, I have never checked it.

I feel like 100%, that I go to the has station more than I did on the 35s.

but you’re also doing 37.17 fewer rotations on a 37 inch tire per mile compared to the stock wheels, decreasing your odometer reading which if you drove a few hundred thousand miles you’d be talking about a substantial difference resulting in increased value. And nobody bought these things for mileage anyways so have fun and spend all your extra income on modifications . If you bought a 100k+ truck and you’re worried/complaining about gas money, you bought the wrong vehicle.

Well i was neither complaining or worried about gas money but i was curious.

Sounds like you are saying this to me, Ramona was the one asking about mpg.

This thing isn't any worse than my AMG I bet and I don't even have to get out my test tubes to mix Ethanol on the truck.

I have never reset my mpg so I can go look and see what it says if you want.

Now I am curious if anyone that had the TRX lean issue fixed has moved to the Eibach Pro Lift? In reading back thru the old TSB threads it seems the TSB addressed swapping out driver side springs for a stiffer spring.

What do you believe this means in the context of the Eibachs? From what I have seen the Gas tank on the drivers side made this problem worse and they addressed with stronger springs.

I assume the Eibachs are stronger, but don’t want to guess and go back to a leaning truck

It kinda resets itself, showing the average of the last 200 miles or so.

I believe they are around 100lbs more stiff. I added about 250 lbs on my front with an ADD bumper and winch and my front didn't really drop any.

I never had any lean when stock but sometimes I do now
