225/19.5 question

[JDKammin]

I installed a used set of 19. 5 Double Coin tires/Eagle wheels on my 05 truck. I would not recommend Double Coin tires, but that is another story. I have read that some owners that installed 225/19. 5 tires, noticed a wandering in the front end of the truck, after installing the 19. 5's. Was there a cure for this? Maybe an alignment or is it something else? Thanks.

I would look at a new steering stabilizer before alignment first on less the truck is constantly pulling one way or the other. These trucks in general eat the steering stabilizers and by adding the wheels and tires you have close to doubled the weight of rolling mass in the front. Just my 2 cents.

That thought was in the back of my mind and the truck has 125,000 miles. Thank you !

ball joints?

I didn't see your sig. Are you running a frame to frame steering stabilizer for the steering box? I added mine when the truck was new for preventive maintenance.

All ball joints have been replaced within the last year. Hub bearing still seem tight. I do not have a steering box stabilizer, just the original factory stabilizer.
