steering stiffness

[maxthegi]

OK, so I currently own a '15 Ram Sport 4x4 and I love the ride and how responsive the steering is. I was considering using bilsteins to level the truck. Was going to keep my wheel size and add a better A/T tire then the stock goodyears. Went and drove the Rebel because it has bilsteins and toyo's and the steering was much more stiff. Why is that?

maybe the rebel has a stiffer steering damper due to its offroad characteristic?

Little more tire sidewall and slightly higher ride height. They all have electric power steering now, maybe "tuned" a bit different but more than likely it's the tires. They are a smidge wider and more aggressive than the tires that are on the trucks with 20's.
