rough ride problem found

Guys,

I've been beating up this ole dodge truck b/c of horrible ride. A slight vibration but it seemed really crazy as I got fast. I had in my mind loose suspension.
But, Saturday I pulled away from the house- whap whap whap. A tire failure as a tread-delaminated?? Anyway, put on the 18 year old spare and it's smmooooth.


Michael

I realized I had a rough ride problem the first block I drove my first gen
I found out what it was when I got my third gen it was the first gen I still love it though
I do probally have the worst riding first gen on the planet though the rockwells and tractor tires weigh 3k# and 12 leafs pr side in front and 15 in back
