I dont know wether its the tires or what, but the comfort is pretty much the same, I couldn't believe it. Especially after all the horror stories I've heard and read about SUV's riding like crap w/ huge wheels. It is still the most comfortable SUV I've ever ridden in . My friends and my girlfriend said that you can't even feel the difference. I can go over big bumps and potholes with no problem. The one thing I have noticed is braking distance has increased slightly, but thats a given. The wheels do not rub at all being 22x9, although I haven't tried driving the car on the lowest setting (unload) because you can't go over 20mph without it raising itself. I'm sure it would rub a little on the mud flaps if I were to ride it around on the "unload" (lowest) setting but I dont like looking like a low rider. It doesn't rub on any of the standard ride heights. Overall I am really happy with the upgrade. <br /><br />I'm now looking for a nice big brake kit, clear corners and an HID conversion kit. Then comes the mono paint scheme.<br /> <br /> <small>[ August 03, 2006, 01:49 PM: Message edited by: CLEEN 50 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
