Ive got a 2nd gen with a 3" lift and 35x12.50 tires on it. The last two are probably not doing me any favors but I should be able to make this thing steer straight somehow, right?
Ive got thuren fab's heavy duty steering, a 3rd gen trackbar conversion and thuren's trackbar on it. thuren control arms, borgeson steering box and shaft, a fox stabilizer in the late 2nd gen position and a sector shaft reinforcing bracket.
Have gone through all the joints in the front end they are all good. trackbar as well.
But the truck likes to wander around over defects in the road. bumps, ruts, holes. it will knock me around so much I fear getting near parked cars on the right side.
Have set caster to 3.5* and a tiny bit of toe-in to try to keep this thing going straight.
Any ideas on what else to try? I am at my wits end. Ive spent enough money to consider a ford 12v swap.
thought about putting a camera under there as I drive and see if I can see something flexing, like the trackbar bracket (It cracked in half once already I had to weld it back up).
Last two Ideas I have are, load the thing up with stabilizers or install a hydro assist on it.
Anyone run hydro assist?
