Default Re: will it move on 22's?

You have just seen photographic and video evidence that it happens...

Newer SUVs with big wheels are engineered for them or they wouldn't offer them as optional equipment. The Tahoe that I referenced was an older one. I had it happen to me when I had 40" Super Swampers on my old Bronco. Spindles, Axles, Bearings, Tir Rods and Ball joints aren't meant to support that much unsprung weight.

This thread is spreading bad vibes like cancer, I'm out before I say something I'll regret.
