The "MAIN" thing is keeping the height of the tire close to the stock height!

It can vary a 1/2" and not mess with the sensors, so don't go below 26" in tire height and you will be fine

Thanks,Matt

Each wheel has a sensor = Wheel Speed Sensor and "IF" the tire height is too tall or too short the wheel speed sensor will be set off -

Codes and lights will pop up to inform the driver on the DIC

Check this thread out. It gives a good overview of keeping the correct stagger front to rear to prevent problems with the AH/TC system.
