What to do?
I have a '07 x with a 2" bb and 33" tires I have noticed when I hit puddles since the lift and tires that I get jerked into them at high speeds on the roads or highways it didn't do this stock! Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do or do I have to live with it and be extra careful? Will a beefier steering stabilizer fix it?

Its going to happen. Bigger tires = larger surface area? I can't resist a puddle when i see it and i go out of my to get em. I noticed a big difference before and after my lift and tires. 4.5" suspension lift and 35x12.5 tires.

Buy a siping tool or take a razor to it or find someone that does it. My 35" km2's does it and I'm about to research either you tube or google and see what I find.

You tube. Type in "hand siping a mud tire" and you'll see a guy with a 70's bronco show you how to do it with a hand held siping tool. He slides his hand down the one side of his tire where there is no siping just lugs and it's like butter. Then he slides his hand down where there is siping and now there nothing but resistance. It's a huge difference. I gotta get me that tool.

Yeah I see them and have to hit them for some reason lol but I do have 12.50" wide tires just wondering if a steering stabilizer would help at all since I still have the puny stock one
