yep... my truck wants to pull every time it hits a little bump or if the roads a little rough.... but hopefully in the next few weeks that will be taken care of (drop spindles and 18" navi's and will be taking it to an alignment shop)

Get her to buy it,but swap the sheetmetal right away!


On the driving note,I didn't really find my truck very twitchy when I was driving it. It only felt twitchy and a little squirrelly when I was running the 205/50/17s. WHen I went down to a 40 series,it stuck to the road much better. Felt more bumps,but drove way better.

I also went from some crappy Goodyear Eagle RS-A allseasons to some Nexen N5000's,which were really sticky. I bought the same tires and put them on my Cadillac and that thing handled like a slot car afterwards.

sounds like alignment to me. Also check to see that your ball joint and tie rod ends are in good shape. I your front end was maginal before you lowered it, It will be wose lowered. Luckily for you e-bay has the frontend repair kits for cheap.

yeah if you haven't gone for an alignment yet,that's the first thing you should go do after lowering your truck.
