You have your pressure at 36 psi? You need to drop that by about 30psi.
When it's in 4 wheel drive it is harder to turn than when in 2 wheel drive.

What year kodiak? if it's a 93 thru 99 , it's full time 4-wheel drive and it's normal to have "hard steering". Jason

I've got my front tire pressure way up ther too, 20-25 psi, this keeps the front end up out of the water. I run the rears at 2 or 3 psi to drop the rear to the ground while in the hole. I tried running them at 0 psi like someones Foreman I know of, but the bead was trying to roll off the rim.

If it has a diff locker it will be hard to turn under power. As everyone asked, Why do you feel you need 36 psi in your tires. I run 12 and they are stiff... You have to be careful w/ tha much pressure they will puncture easily.

lol... That is true, I seated the bead on my outlaws and then pulled the pin. I litterally run 0 lbs of pressure in the outlaws.

Tires are rated to about 50-70lbs... So go ahead and bring them up to 65psi, but I do not recomend Highspeed road driving..
