I like the look but the ride is rough...may be the tires or balancing issue....has anyone tried balancing beads that work on the inside of these tires?or other ways of smoothing out the ride. Thanks

Where did you get your wheels from? I want to put 22.5's on my 450 sometime soon

try this stuff called equal. it works great..

Thanks ....is it the bead/pellets type you put in the tires ( 10 -12 oz )? and I found them used on craigslist...had to order wheeladapters.

I don't know anything about balancing, but how about more pics of your truck, its awesome!

Thanks

the stuff im talking about is a one time use. it comes in bag. you put one two, three how every many bags you need for that size tire, soon as your up to highway speed the bags brake apart and the stuff starts to do its job. i have heard of the bbs but i have not used them personally. i do use the equal in my jeep with 37s. and now lead on the rims and its rides prty good

If my truck looked that good, I wouldn't care if it rode like a joltwagon!!!!

Go to your local truck tire shop and get the 10 ounce bags and throw them in, equal is powder and counteract is little glass beads. they work well, I am running equal in my tires now.

IMO (playing with 22.5's on my truck for 6 years now) I wouldn't add equal if you paid me, been there and done that, with a proper balance and tire pressure, you can achieve a good ride without the equal or beads.

Let me first ask, how many pounds of air are in each tire, front and back?

Hi the fronts i'm running 70psi and the rears i'm lowering from 80 to 75psi....hope this helps,also I had the fronts balanced last week before an 8 hr. road trip.

drop the fronts to 60psi

the rears (dont be shocked) you can drop down to about 35-40psi to achieve the best ride..I actually have 25psi in my rears..what brand tires did you go with?

 

[Pro Flo]

wow that low how about towing...I tow a triple axle gooseneck dumper?the guy I bought the tires was running @ 60 in front ,I guess thats why and you say 35 to 45 out back? the tires are toyo hydraradials 225/70r 22.5

 

[Abrannan19]

towing at that weight isnt a problem, i have a 22.5k 25" gooseneck that I was on the scales with last week at 23,400lbs with no issues.

 

[Pro Flo]

ok then ...i just dropped them all to 60 and going for a drive on a highway so I'll see if there is still some shaking I'll drop the rears a bit more...thanks for your help.

 

[Abrannan19]

good deal and good luck, if you are having steering wheel shimmy, you will want to add some dual steering stablizers

 

[Pro Flo]

Thats a good Idea...I'll look into that, Thanks again

 

[Abrannan19]

if you need some stabilizers, let me know,I can get you a set.

 

[Pro Flo]

sure let me know $$$....pm me Thanks.
