    I just replaced the 265/70/16 with moto metal 951 (black) and Pro Comp A/T 265/75/16. I took my rig to a 4 wheel parts store for the install. They messed up on the order so they put the tires on for free.

    My question is after the install my steering is off. At a full turn it won't pull it's self back straight. I have to crank the wheel straight. It does not pull and seems to go nice and straight while driving. I called the guy back and he said he adjusted the rack and pinion so it wouldn't vibrate at freeway speeds. Does this sound right? Should I go back and have them tighten it? Has anyone else had this done?

    Oh, and I did have to cut some of the plastic off the front and remove the mud flap in the front to avoid rubbing issues. I will post pics tonight!
