i dont think there bad i just like to plan ahead thats all it took me 3 months to figure out what i wanted ,setting up for future changes in stead of buying steering now and then a better system later ,this is my dd also so i got to cover all my bases you no ,me id go for the tres but thats just me .You also said something aboput bad steering angles everybody tells me mine are bad and it cant steer right but it steers straight no death wobble no bump steer more than 38 inch tires are gonna do and my tires are not even balanced ill run 80 mph down the highwat and it feels like im on stock tires
