i'm now starting to get my 40 on the road that i've bought a couple months ago, its got 2.5" pro comp lift springs on a soa with no cut and turn, i'm running rancho 9000 adjustable shocks saginaw power steering with 36" super swampers.
i'm spending most of my time redoing what the PO did wrong. Mostly just trying to make everything more reliable and clean....
well heres what its like... when ever i'm doing over 20mph it feels like i'm going to die at any second the entire truck just sways around the road and i'm constantly countersteering to correct this and anytime theres a rut or bump in the road my cruiser hits the bump and flies out of control.....
i'm pretty sure i have no castor shims in my front end and i'm not ready to cut and turn yet,
1.i have a booger welded bent tie rod up front which i'd like to replace with marlin's stout tie rod replacements and then use 80 1-ton tie rod ends...
2. i'd also like to get those things you put in between yours springs made of like teflon or something to soften the ride.
3.I'm also pretty sure the front spring perch was welded on wrong because be spring sits funny and makes by bushings in the shackles bind a bit (cock-eyed)
4.and somehow i think i need to adjust the tow in ...
do these sound like the reason my 40 is nerve rackening to drive?? any other things i can do to make this more road worthy and stable?? thanks for your help i'm just not really keen on my steering knowledge...
