[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1794915, member: 39072"] Science says different . It not like I worked in a tire shop and rebuilt front ends and did alignments for over 20 years or anything so what would I know? Three basics of alignment,toe,camber,caster. Caster is responsible to steer ability , handling characteristics of the vehicle. Caster is negatively effected by both the bigger tires and the lift reducing caster results in less traction and reduced steer ability. Then consider dodge suspension characteristics. With coil spring suspension the only thing that keeps the front axle square with the frame and rear axle is the track bar and trailing arms . If you put a leaving kit on without changing to an adjustable sway bar . You are pulling the axle to one side as well as trailing arms. This is magnified by adding larger tires. Going from 265 to 285 tires increases tire contact with the road by more than 3/4 inch across the contact area , reducing the pound per square inch contact with the road magnifying the reduced traction from the decreased caster.
