Rick, sorry if you've answered this yet: What kind of tires are you running? You *should* have at least "C" rated light truck tires, and maybe "D" in the back. Yoko 370/365's are the tire of choice for the list. _________________________________________________________ Bob O'Shaughnessy, Columbus, OH vanagon@columbus.rr.com 85GL with basic Westy interior 74 Bus (Dad's) 72 Wife, 94 Rabbit, 95 Cat, 96 cat, 98 Kid |
