I just recently switched my 32x11.5s for 33x10.5, along with new t-bars and a 1" sdori coil spacer.
I've been noticing a big change in the handling on-road and wanted to ask for some opinions.
Everything feels much more 'floating' in the rear end, I feel when I turn that the rear is drifting a bit.
I am sure that with the new height/clearance that this will take some getting used to but the feeling is a bit unsettling so far. Any ideas or comments much appreciated! should I naturally expect a 'tippier' ride with the narrower tires and lift, or would you guys recommend removing the spacers and lowering the t-bars to gain more stability with a 10.5" width

 

1 inch in the rear should not do that.....perhaps some bilstein 5125 series gas shocks would fix that?

 

thanks zuk! good to hear from you and thanks again on the gearing advice.
yeah 1" in the rear shouldn't have such an effect, I think that it's the combination of going to narrower tires and adding a spacer that has given me this feeling, I may just have to get used to it.
I am running ARB shocks so I think that should be sufficient...just one last question- does the fact that there is a spacer in there make the coil/shock compress more/deeper? This may be the 'floating' feeling that I am getting, that I never felt before, and it may just be the ARB shocks compressing deeply for the first time.

 

What kind or tires and what pressure are you running them at.
That can make a big, big, difference.
