New rig, tire shread
Brought brand new 367FL home last week. Headed out over the mountain pass to eastern Washington last night on our first trip. We had a tire completely fail coming just over Steven's Pass last night.
As some of you may know, we have had a chronic fish-tail problem since leaving the dealership. As quick summary--yes, we are high (by 2") in the front. We attempted to lower the hitch point to bring the rig level; however, it has caused the over hang to connect with the truck bed.
We naively assumed we could operate the LIpert electric jacks like our former hydraulic jacks--but could not figure out how to independently operate to lift the rig. The Ford F350 jack was not strong enough to lift the rig--so we called for road side assistance.
I don't know if we have axle problems--but we are taking the rig to the tire center today and replacing all four tires with something with greater substance. Open to any and all advice here.
