big wheels

I've driven a stock Dakota r/t and I thought the ride was fine. Firm but sure not harsh. Maybe its something with your lowering kit or shocks ?

There's a huge difference between a 17 or 18 inch wheel/ tire combo and say a 20 inch rubber band tire set up. I've hit some decent pot holes around these parts and have never worried about bending a rim. My 17 inch set up has some sidewall like most 17's would. And **** my car doesn't ride anything that could ever considered harsh.
