    My truck has been doing awesome in the snow here in east texas!

    2011 dc 5.7 with 6" procomp II (instaled 2017) with 325x60x20 ridgegrapplers.

    Question how do i know what is worn out? It's smooth on the pavement but ive noticed in the last few days on ice and snow its's so ruff. Feels like front tires are bouncing and vibrating a lot with some clunking.


    Is this worn out shocks, wheel bearing, or UCA bushing? I mean it rattles the whole front end.
    Driving about 20-25 is the worst.

    Or is that just how a lifted truck rides?

    I know im asking alot of questions in one.

    Im not sure what shocks are on it. Maybe prerunner as it came with the pro comp kit. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Function before sparkle.
    Really basic first question since Texas doesn't get a lot of snow and cold - lots of people experiencing new things (and terrible things) down there right now.

    What tire pressure are you running? A highly inflated 20" wheel can feel like it's bouncing a lot on mixed ice surface conditions and make things rattle.

    If that's not an issue... how many miles on that truck since the lift was added and does it only happen in these cold temps?

    @mountainpete I was originally at 42 psi in summer. I have been riding 30psi currently in the snow ice here.

    I for sure have put 30k on since lift. I know my rubber seals under the uca are cracked a bit.
