parking on tires... is it smart
 
Is it dumb to park on a friends tires? Is it possible to break things, or am i just being anal?

We did it this week and i was sure something was going to break.

Just make sure your sway bar is disconnected. :cool:

Also try to keep the tires close to the same size. I had a buddy stack on my 36s with 33s and pulled his whole front end out of alignment

That shouldn't have anything to do with tire size...tires are just like rocks and you're just articulating your suspension as you would on a trail with large rocks or variable terrain. Something must have been loose in his front end to change his alignment. Or perhaps he was trying to make drastic steering changes while wedged against something...

wouldnt that just take his steering wheel off center? if that happened the axle would still be aligned but the steering wheel would be off. thats happened to me before, its an easy fix.

I suspect it was the 3' fall off the top of my tire, having his wheels turned and hooked around mine and the sudden stop when he landed.

easier to roll the smaller tire up the larger tire, than vice versa
