Do you guys think my side walls on the tires are buckling??

Could be. What load rating are the tires, ie LT? E? D? I believe sidewalls do get stiffer with higher load rated tires. I'm really happy with my E rated 36X14.5X16's on 9" rims, but I'm doing a camper not a trailer. Does the truck have a sway bar?

Like I tld DW when we bought our 07 Ram with the 20's its pretty but it won't tow much! Almost had a stroke from laughing when she asked if it would tow a Montana Fiver. My experience with lifted trucks other than looking pretty in a parade they are useless for anything else

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
