Does it only do that when you are stopped and turning the wheel back and forth? If so, I think that is pretty normal with soft springs.

ya i know its normal. and everything is new.  my question was there anything i can do to get rid of it by changing to a three link set up or something else.   any ideas?? anyone.
maybe a pan hard bar.  but i think that would limit some travel.
i love oregon wheelin.

If its what I think it is then no suspension change will fix it. Unless you just want to buy a 3link from me for the heck of it. Oh come on, I had to take that shot. ha ha.

Its a matter of the king pin angle and caster that cause the affect you are feeling. As the wheel turns out it also moves downward which lifts that side of the truck while the steering on the opposite side is doing the opposite.
