Don,
Thanks for checking this; however, the LXi is equipped with 315/80/22.5 tires on all axles. 105 supports 14880 (single wheel) 90 supports 24280 (duals) 85 supports 12830 (single wheel) David B '02 LXi, Smokey NC --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Don Bradner" > > Assuming 12R22.5 tires, 105 is proper for an axle weight (single) of 13.2K, leaving you 1K short. Recommended for 14.2K would be 115. I don't like to start out 10% low. > > You are dead-on to slightly-over on the drivers and tag. > > On 4/4/2007 at 6:14 PM David Brady wrote: > > >Robert, > > > >I just installed the FSD's on the rear of my LXi and the > >results are astonishing.
