As most of you all know I removed the Mudrunners due to poor ride quality. With springtime mud season coming up soon I wish I could put them back on but...what can be done to keep the handling good? Stiffer springs were a no-no. I look at those tires sitting on the big shelf in the garage and would like to remount them...maybe.

Can anything be done?

 

xplor,
did u find that the quality of ride depended on what pressure u were running in the tires??
maybee higher pressure would smooth out the ride, but would give u a bit less traction.

I have tried all types of air pressures. Nothing seemed to work. They rubbed and bit into everything.

On another note: The whole power loss thing didn't bother me...it was the way the front end kept biting into everything. Steering ease was great but it was "jolty". The rubbing was a bit annoying too but could most likely be fixed if I were to add a spacer/washer at the bottom of the spring.

One thing I may have overlooked is maybe my front springs were tired...could explain it a bit.

 

I'm not saying this is it, but i had mudrunners on my SP and ran a little ruff, but I thought it was because I had more aggresive tires, then when I brought it to the dealer to put the clutch kit in he told me I had my tires on backwards. I did't pay much attention when mounting, thought shiny part out didn' matter what side. I was wrong and looked stupid to,changed them ran much smoother. Just a suggestion.

 

My sp did the same thing until i had the struts replaced it never did it again. Check them out.

 

The sidewalls on the Mudrunners are very heavy duty. There is very little sidewall flex compared to the standard tires which firms up the ride.
