I have been realizing then when going over pot holes, or any holes for that, it seems like my truck wants to go all over the road way. Does anyone else have this problem, or know what might be causing this?

Thanks in Advance Guys


btw for those who dont know me on here, I have an 05 Dakota.
Your truck hates you.

I can duplicate this now if I run too much air pressure in my tires. I have found for myself and the tires I am now running, 42PSI works best. Any more PSI and it will "dart" all over the road.

As for the rears, I have Bilsteins on there and I would not trade them for anything else currently available.

Here is the Bilstein part # F4-BE5-6682-H5 These are the 5100 Series. SEE NOTES BELOW

NOTE 1 : Make sure you order the correct size bushings and metal inserts for the ends or the bolts will be loose.

Note 2 : The part number listed above is ONLY for a truck with 1.5"-2" blocks in the rear.
Stock ht. trucks will need a different shock. I don't have that number in my head, but I can get it again if need be.
My truck has done the same thing... but its all better now, its calmed itself...
