    I went from stock tires to bfg tko2 265s and billy 5100 set at first notch to level truck. Now on highway when i ride over bump have that floating steering wheel yank feeling. Tire press. 32 psi. Thoughts on why. It is stiffer now and no body roll but handled highway perfect sith stock tires. P.s. rear shocks are stock still.

    This. It's been suggested that an alignment should be done when you change anything in your suspension.

    You might want to change your title to something a little more informative. Usually, when someone posts "help" as the title, it means they're stranded somewhere and need help.

    Also, whenever you go to bigger tires/mess with suspension, you need an alignment, so try that.

    ^ This.

    "Help" is like an S.O.S. Call on here, and members usually come together to do just that.

    State what the problem is in the title and you will get more help with your problem.

    Sorry guys new at this. I had alighment done twice actually , no pulling seems fine just steering jerks to one side or the other more than when had stock when you catch uneven pavement like a hole on highway. It seems if it hits both front wheels its fine but if you watch with one wheel it jerks. Maybe just not used to feeling of stock tires vs all terrain on highway.
