So many people run km2s not cause their cool but because they are a damn good tire. I ran km2s on my old rig, and run KM1s on my current rig. Never had the kevlars but hear nothing but good from them. Id say its a toss up.

So after about a month I finally got bump steer. I hit a big bump going over 35 mph and then it shakes violently until I pull over and stop. Not sure how to go about fixing it so any help is appreciated. Here's a picture of the steering components/front end

Start checking for loose suspension parts/steering parts.
Low tire pressure out of balance tires

OK guys quick question. I had 4.10 gears put in my jeep because I went up to a 33" tire. Did the regear fix my speedo being off or will I still need to regear the speedo?

The only reason I ask is because the guy I brought it to ended up being pretty shady and I'm wondering if he put them in at all. Its a 01 auto 4.0 with 3.55s stock and it doesn't feel like there was much of an acceleration change. Also in over drive at 55mph I'm well under 2000 rpm.

Any help?
