ok so i got some new rims.Some 20" Dayton 100 spoke knockoffs. ever since then when i am in 4WD it feels like one of the tires is getting stuck and then POPPING, like it was stuck and then let loose.Could this be caused by the fact that my rim isnt locked into the adapter properly? Or mayb its something else?
It drives fine when in 2WD so it must be the front right, which was very hard to get on.
let me know what you think!
PEACE!

Is this on a road or in dirt, cause yesterday i was off roading and right when i went on the road i was having the same problem. Did it feel like the wheel was dragging or flat ?

nope it was just on the regular road. it felt like the wheel would get stuck on every revolution and then POP out of being stuck. like it would jerk the whole car.
i discovered it when i was using 4WD on the snow and then tried it on the dry ground.

This is a normal condition on dry pavement and tight turning around corners in 4x4 mode hi or lo. This is because in 4x4 mode the front axles are locked and rear axles are connected by the transfer case and when you go around corners the inside tire is not spinning as much as the outside tire is. Add 20" rims and tires and it makes this worse, eventually you will have front intermediate shafts failing at the CV joint in the front axle.
So keep it out of 4wd on dry pavement or take off the 20" BLING. You could also try to swap in a bravada/Astro Van AWD transfer case and front differntial and that should help reduce the problem...
