Leveling kit causing my steering wheel to wobble?? HELP
I get this and mines 2wd...I dunno what it is, kinda gets scary at times....2" level for me, with new +2" shocks....
Its bad enough (along with my control arm hitting the spring bucket) to where I almost wanna take them off

Matt, your signature says 3" on the front not 2. I have a 2" longer coil installed and the upper control arm with the weight of the truck is sitting about an inch of the bucket. You must be right at the limit of what you can push, that's why it keeps hitting the bucket. At this point, it's best to get rid of the lift you have in the front and look for a kit with a longer spindle. That should take care of your problem of it getting crazy. With a 3" lift even if you got longer springs and shocks the camber is REALLY hard to get right and could cause your tires to run wrong giving you hell on the road.

2" for sure. Matt you look like a 2wd. the problem you may have is you have blocks in the back with a 2" lift in the front. If you're 2wd you may want to only run the 2 inches in the front and take the blocks off the back. It may take a little pressure off the front since the normal stance is a rake in the front. Just something to consider, and I may be wrong.
Yea it is 2wd....and I don't think taking the blocks out would change much....1 1/2" over the length of the truck is pretty minimal
I posted the pics so you could see the spring bucket/control arm problem
also see how tight my brake lines are?

Lol, yeah yeah yeah Johnny
I wouldnt call it flying, but enough to bounce'er around a bit. (If I went over 10mph up this thing, I wouldn't have a front end, lol) I said I wouldnt wheel this thing 'till its paid for, and I still find a way to tear **** up, lol.
Maybe Ill just let the rubber wear down the rest of the way, then I can convince the ol' lady how unsafe they are and how I 'need' those NTG's

Note that this is for those of us with struts on the front.

Matt, you definately need to get some longer brake lines. It's just wild that you have a 2wd and if the spacers on the front are truly only 2" if you put 1.5" blocks in the back just from looking at your picture that the front end sits so high. I would expect that your front end would sit just a tad bit lower than the rear. Normally 2-2.5" spacers on the front level the truck with the back. If you put blocks in the back the back should sit an inch or so higher. Did you do the spacers yourself?
