How are your trail graps holdin up? What did you do to fit them?

I had to cut a little tiny bit only because I have 12.5" wide but I've only had them for about a week now and I love them they're pretty quiet and they keep their grip really well

If I want the tires to stick outside the fenders a bit what tire size would that be to keep the about 32 inches tall.

Your wheels would keep them from really sticking out plus they don't make any wider 32"s unless you have 22" rims or something

Mine stick out a little bit and they're 12.50s. Only thing about that is if you're ever on a dirt road expect something like this to happen...

I think the Steering shaft is causing the problem. It looks nasty with a ton of rust. I soaked it in Sea Foam tonight and we will see if there is any improvement tomorrow am. Thanks.

I have a 2004 Lariat screw with about 200K km on it.The steering shaft on these is a common problem. There are two universal joints that get corroded and affect steering. It happened to me and felt like the power steering was going. Just soak them both with a good lubricant (maybe start with a penetrating oil like WD40) and then work the steering wheel. If this is the issue you should notice a difference right away.
