    You check over all the front end components yet? Tie rods or balljoints could be worn, causing that change in alignment or pull

    What did your total height end up being after being mounted on the 9" wide rim? After mounting my 33x10.5s on an 8.5" wheel I feel like I could have gone 35s and been fine with just the basic CMC/plastic/pinchweld combo because they stretched a little and shortened up.

    Im not too sure. These tires are around 30% tread so it would be lower obviously. On a 8.5 wheel when the tires were new, they measured 34.75!

    Yeah, I've had the alignment checked a few times. Ever since I had the tires put on the truck started pulling to the the right a little. It used to track perfectly straight. No one can seem to figure it out. I had some pretty uneven wear to the tread blocks on the front wheels but they've been rotated to the back.

    Yeah, but they can align it with a bad ball joint. That matters more when it is in motion.

    I checked the lower ball joints and the control arms. Everything looks and feels solid.

    I'm assuming this includes wheel bearings as well. In that case, I'm out of ideas.

    I think I'm now a skinny tire enthusiast after 8 months with these tires!

    kenda klever 35x10.5 on stock Toyota 17x7.5 +15 FJ wheels, no spacers, LCAs pushed forward, SPC setting F, and trimmed/hammered to fit from bump to droop and lock to lock. Body mounts unchopped without rubbing

    they do kiss my frame right where its doubled up for the crossmember that holds the LCA mounts welds on. ordered some 1/2" spacers and extended lugs to space them a bit further off of my spindle gussets and to eliminate that little bit of frame rubbing.

    The clear mud a lot better than my old wildpeaks, this was some thick stuff

    yeah that was before trimming the plastic. I'm a big fan of cycling the suspension with a jack and trimming from there, rather than trial and error out when I'm wanting to be wheeling. The skinny tires tuck up under the bottom flare without touching them, but I did have to hack some off the front bumper cover and a bit of the rear of the flare. fender liners are gone
