Alignment should stay the same. Unless you have smashed into some curbs or ditches real hard lately. What size was the last set of tires ?


Oh, and it looks BAD !! Very nice buy.
Thanks Man! thats what I was thinking about the alingment but I wanted to make sure thats an expensive mistake I dont want to make again, the last set of tires were 315/75/R16 toyo`s. I cant wait to see how they do off road they ought to clean out good I hope!

your gunna be in for one awesome surprise bud ! These things perform GREAT ! They are well known. I see tons of professional rock crawlers/racers run the Iroks. The huge voids should throw the mud off em like nothing. Be sure to get some film next time ya go wheelin !

Thanks man! I dont think there was any trouble balancing them but I dont really know because I had a local shop mount and balance them, we`ll find out in 3,000 miles how well they balance

man I really like them so far! on the road they have alittle bit of a hum to them but its not to loud, I haft to let off the gas so the exhaust will be quiet to hear them they also ride real good too, with the 3.73 gears pulling them I can tell some difference than with the old tires (35s) but it`s not much difference at all. I`ve talked to a fellow in my area that has 12" of lift and is running 39.5" iroks on a 97-03 year model and it looks sweet those are some huge tires!

Sweet, looks awesome!! rotate em every 3000-3500 you will be glad you did. I know I just have little dinky 33's but I have done that and am going to get at least 60k miles out of my Hankook MT's. Course keeping them properly inflated is really important as well.

Welcome to the club. They are great offroad. I luv em. So the shop balanced them for you? Reason i ask is 4wheelparts told me they couldn't be balanced so they put equal in them. Hows your steering wheel around 50-60? Mine has a healthy shake to it.

A couple clips of them in action:

Thanks Fellows I love these new tires it`s almost like having a new truckHey Big50 the steering is dead on at 50-60mph I cant tell that its any different than with the old toyos, if anything its better than the old tires I do have a steering stabilizer so that helps alot

Well i guess i should get around to finally putting my stabilizer in. I just got used to the wobble until i took it on a 5 hr road trip and it got a little anoying after a while. Oh the 36's are pretty much a 37" tire. If you look up the specs they are 36.8" tall. I've seen tires that are 37's with specs as low as 36.6".
