Hey one of my friend who has a extended cap svt raptor. Took my super crew raptor for a ride, he noted that my ford raptor has a lot of steering shake at low speed. Something that his raptor with stock tires doesnt have compared to mine.
By the future It could cause steering looseness

Yeah, that's not normal. I've still got my stock setup on my 2010 SCab and I do not have any steering shake whatsoever. Probably has to do with your Tire/Wheel combo (moreso the tires).

The front coil spring rates are different between the screw and scab. I don't remember the exact numbers the screw area just slightly stiffer for weight and to still make it perform as well as the scab. I know I read info on it somewhere just. Red to find it for the numbers.

They're load range E tires, those are basically made with steel sidewalls so there's no give at all in the tire. I don't see any reason to have an E on a truck like this. I had E range tires on my one ton Cummins and swapped those to Ds even.

Hey for my rims tires application on general tires i require this
35X12.50R18LT 123Q E BSW 4568220000 35 77.7 65 12.5 (10.0) 8.5 - 11.0 18 594 3415
So it would be the same as my pro comp xtreme a/t who has same tire specs

Another option to get out of the svt raptor roughness.

Remmember i m using 18x9 -12 offsets rims stock they are 17 with tires rated D of 2190 max load

If you are looking for ride comfort, a General Grabber Red Label is not the answer. There is will be road noise and they are still an E rated tire. While this is a great off road tire, they will not give you the comfy plush ride you are after. The best on-road ride, I would recommend BFG All Terrains, deaver rear springs, and some serious weight in the bed. Like others have said, it is still a truck. Trucks were designed to have weight in the bed.
