    Ever since I went to wider tires I have experienced the fun of being pulled back and forth by the ruts our wonderful trucking industry leaves in the surface of our highways (ship by train people)
    Anyway, When trying once again to find info on this fun, I found out what it is called..."tramlining"

    How many of you have been experiencing this fun with your truck?

    I realized on my way to work this morning that when I am on a flat road without ruts that my dual steering stabilizer makes my steering so stiff I can just let go of the wheel for quite a while until it starts to drift or of course the highway curves


    I have also been thinking... would the offset of our rims effect the tramlining
    anyone know the offset of a stock toyota 2wd hilux rim is...???
