It's taken me almost two years since that blow out at speed and numerous truck and tire upgrades but I am finally back to just driving, relaxing and driving, instead of being hypersensitive to every bump, wiggle and thunk. Amazing what having the proper tires and wheels for your load will do to help with "just chilling on down the road".
My advice to everyone is stop with the "I think its fine" bull******guess and get your rig to the cat scale and really know if it's fine or not.
