I finally got the 40's installed on my Gladiator last week. First impressions, it looks great! Ride is pretty good I think it can be better. I went with 40x13.50x17 Cooper's. I have 17x9 Method wheels. I do have a slight rub at full lock. The installer had a hell of a time getting the old 37's off and dinged up my wheels. They ordered me some new ones but they struggled getting the tire off the bead, because of the bead gripper. I am running them at 32 psi right now and might go lower, I will chalk test when I get a chance. I do have a little road wander and vibration at 55MPH. They used balancing beads instead of weights, anyone have an opinion on this? I'd also like to hear opinions on what upgrades I should be considering to keep this thing safe, reliable, and as roadworthy as possible? (Apex booster, sector shaft brace?) It currently has a Clayton 3.5 ride rite which has been great. I don't do any rock crawling but do get it off road a bit, hunting/snow etc. I'll be honest its mostly a pavement princess.
