22.5 conversion
Just put the 22.5 alcoas on and can tell it is quite a bit ruffer. Has anyone had any experience with this, was it even harder on the already poorly built front end. Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

....and probably a lot higher air pressure, problem is you can't drop pressure much on semi wheels, they don't have a safety bead to keep the tires from popping off of the wheels

i understand bout the stiffer sidewalls etc., my concerns are the front end such as track bar, ball joints and wheel bearings and u joints. Just had everything replaced in front end and if these rim/tires are going to be tougher on that stuff. within 1 month of puttin them on i already have a bad ujoint. maybe it was going already dont know for sure.
