    Speaking of trailer tires. My front lift axle doesn't lift very far....just a few inches. So I catch it alot on humps when it's up. Anybody ever put tall rubber on the rear and low pro on the front? Just to gain a little more clearance. The leveling valve should make up for it. Anywho....any ideas on that?

    I think the pm schedule says change em at 100k miles.

    I think he said he's got some on his trailer. My trailer has some. My dad's got some on his truck that he's ran just shy of a year and are holding up great and I just tossed a set on my truck that I'm happy with.

    Ran a tri axle dump that ran tall 24.5s on the drives and tall 22.5s on the pusher. Don't see how itd be any different there. It should put the same amount of pressure into the bags no matter the tire size.

    Also to note you'll only gain an inch keeping the same wheel size

    Right on, that's what I was thinking. Just didn't know if others have tried it and to what success. Thanks

    That's to say I haven't tried it. You may have slightly quicker brake wear then usual but not really sure what the issue would be.

    be happy it was sheet goods... it could have been 2X4s spread under the wagon and you have to spend an hour on your knees throwing wood out for the operator to stack on the forks.
