Here is a trick to make them ride better. Take and have the tires trued on the truck. It will make you want to puke at the rubber in the floor, but will make you smile going down the road.
Menace, an option for you since you will already have the 10 lug adapters on the struck is to sell the wheels and tires to some of the lowerider guys and get you a set of 22.5's with standard 225 tires on them. If you are pulling alot of weight, a gear change is in order to make it all work out right. I am currently running 19.5's that are 10 lug big rig with adapters and 245 michelin XZE's. These wheels are 8"wide and they look sic. I have had 22.5's and direct bolt 19.5's My current combo is the best all around for ride and power of any combo yet. My 38 weighs 15500 on the trailer and my gooseneck enclosed is 17000# and my truck pulls the hell out of them with stock 3:73 gears.....but I have some motor mods.

Thanks for the info. The boys took it to detail it and said the power is awesome. Apparently it has had some major mods.
Will take some pics of the engine compartment next week.
