Tyre pressure comes into it alot if runnnig 31's go 20psi thats what a mate runs his at and reckons it made a world of differance even helps with traction

[evil666]

well im running 32s and when im 4wd i mostly run on 30psi so if im running 32 what would be the best psi for 4wd.
and to add to what i said be4 my back spring i dont no what they are all i no is that there heavy duty 2inch lift spring so if i took a life out will the make them lighter
cheers

Have a look at your spring pack, if you have an extra thick leaf in there you might have a 'helper leaf' for heavy loads. Yes if you take this out it will make a huge difference. Try running 20+ psi till you find what you like. A way to check you haven't gone too low is to check you tyre pressure cold and hot. There should be about 4 psi difference.
