Welcome to Colorado! Just be sure to tell everyone else you know out-of-state that we are now full and are not accepting any more residents. LOL! Looking forward to meeting you at the northern Colorado meet and greet.

29th ave and 37th street there is a Kum n Go on the corner. Any of you guys wouldnt know anything about the rugged ridge steering kit. I put this kit on and know I have alot of play in my steering and i drive like im drunk haha. I have my fiance turn the wheel while i look under and when she turns the wheel it looks like the new crossmember turns in the joints. I have done some reserach and people say to put some spacers. Also can you guys recomend some good winter tires that are good in snow and ice that still look beefy 
. I have the mickey thompson baja claws at the moment and I slide all over the place with those things. I think i will use those for summer use.

Steering: Yeah, all of those steering kits that join the drag link to the tie rod like that have issues with joint "rotation". When you turn one direction the drag link pushes down on the tie rod, when you turn the other way, it pulls up on it. The tie rod ends pivot or rotate a bit with this push/pull and it creates slop or what others call a "dead spot" where it feels like things are loose.
The best cure is to remove all the grease boots and install these polyurethane spacers from JCR around the shanks of the tie rod ends:

Tires: What pressure are you running your tires at in the winter? If you're running them at 32-35 psi, that's too much. Drop 'em down around 25-28 psi - give them a larger "footprint" on the ground and your traction will improve. Off road tires are stiffer particularly on the sidewalls so they handle lower air pressures just fine. If you have good deep tread on them, you may also be able to have them siped at most larger tire shops.
Otherwise, I've had good experiences with the BFG A/T's and the Pro Comp A/T's for winter tires...... but again, with similar air pressures as mentioned above.

Is there any 4 wheel parts stores around Evans? Also anywhere I can buy some new Mickey Thompson Bahamas claws, or I'll have order online.
