    I'll have to check that and get back to you. My wife has me doing paperwork now. Guess I sat in one spot too long and she noticed.

    I would get rid of the Chinese tires asap, I made the same mistake once. Had one that actually pulled the truck to the left which I thought wasn't even possible. Went and had the left tire turned on the rim and it ran pretty straight, couldn't wait to get rid of those tires. I just had a set off TOYO steer tires put on yesterday and going to see how thy run out. 325.00 at Sap Bros. I would also Have that alignment checked , if it's off won't matter the tire it will still were it out. Also might want to try some Balance Masters, I have used them for years on my steers and thy work great.

    Bad shocks can cause uneven wear. Smoothe bore tank will take a couple of months off of tire wear, not a year though.

    I put shocks on today. I'm thinking put a set of continentals on and check alignment next. But I don't know if the shocks worked until I get round tires on.

    It
    shakes a little but if I let go of the wheel it will shake alittle but truck runs strait. It looks like up and down on my hood if that makes sense to you.
