I've got a 3" suspension lift and 2" body lift running 31's and the steering wobbles and them tends to wonder across the road, had the wheels rebalanced and tracking checked all ok! I was told the steering arm joint that goes from the steering box to the steering arm was on its limit and wasn't centring causing my truck to wonder??

I haven't got a steering stabiliser fitted either???

Fit a stabiliser and check your king pin bearings by jacking the front up hold the wheel at 12 & 6 oclock and wobble it if there is play king pins may be shot then at 3&9 oclock if there is play it may be a track rod end also have you got caster correction bushes in the front or corection arms and check your tyre pressures and panard rod bushes

Mine has the same lift and does the same thing. I've ordered castor corrected front radius arms from rhino rays to hopefully solve the problem

Mine wanders all over the place and I have a steering damper and drop pitman arm fitted :cheer:

So much for the pitman arm reducing wander!
