Tires Falling Apart?

[Dkyacht]

Btw my bfg's are doing the exact same thing. Definitely plan on getting a better tire soon.

I had a huge reply posted for your swaybar question, but my ****** internet ate it.

Bottom line:

Each wheel will be able to move independently of the other, making bumps that are offset to only one tire hits them at a time more smooth.

Example: Speedbump taken at 45 degrees. With the sway off, you'll notice a big difference from hitting it with the sway on. It's the best way to demonstrate what this "mod is about"

The bad is you'll get more body roll, but a lot of us like that "trophy truck" style body roll. You won't be getting any three wheel action, but it'll be more perceptible.

All in all, it's a 45 min job that is highly worth the effort, and if you hate it, you're only out another 45 mins to put it back on.

the ride felt that way before off road.
the road trip was a trail, most of which was on a shelf road, there was not spinning, nothing really fast, it was more like a jeep trail. washboard, hard pack desert. never lost traction. ran in 4H, Sport, Locker X engaged so i could use the camera to see the edge of the road in places on turns.

i drove this in my Tahoe with brigestone dualaers and nothing like this ever happened.

I get what your saying about the independent tire travel, great description of that. Thank you. Is it more dangerous in a swerving accident avoiding type manoeuvre? Other than some body roll are there any other disadvantages like tire wear or more stress on another part of the front suspension?

Dave

Yes if you swerve fast and hard... and I can imagine how the truck will react with it disconnected and the roll stability active...

I would imagine it probably is slightly more dangerous on that scenario. I can't say for certain how bad it'd be. Tire wear and suspension stress should be a non-issue though

Thanks guys good info! I think I'm gonna start a thread about this instead of continuing on this one.

both rear tires replaced by BFG.

 

[cups]

Did you get any reasons for the failure?

 

[brusso99]

I was happy they replaced them, a local Ford dealer said NOT a Chance! BFG told me take them to a dealer, they say 550 miles on the truck, called BFG told them what they looked like and said no problem.
