redWRANGLER, DROP YOUR PSI, you're running way too much pressure for a Jeep. I'm running 30 in my 4 door. I ran 25 in my CJ that had 38" Toyo's. All Jeeps are going to be different depending on tire/wheel setup, bumpers, winches, etc. The chalk line test is best to use, but this will give you a starting point.

30 isn't to low? What size tire are you running?

The tire pressure in my wheels where all over the place, not sure why. I put them all at 40psi and the wiggle seemed to go away slightly.

I'll try dropping it down to 35 to see how it rides.

How does the chalk test work?

I don't find it to be. I'm running 35's. Remember, the 4 door roughly weighs in at 4000 lbs give or take, I only ran 32psi in the Yokohama Geolanders AT's that were on my 7000lb 4WD '01 Tahoe. and about 33 in my current '07 Tahoe.

For the chalk line test, you make a mark straight across the tire, drive in a straight line for say 50 feet or so and see how much chalk is left on the tire. No chalk mean you are inflated correctly, chalk on the outside edges of tire only meane you are overinflated, and chalk left on the middle of the tire only means you are under inflated. Make sense?

Yeah, I like the wheels. If you can't tell by my rig, I like black.
