What PSI do you have in the tires and what tires are you running? If you are running LT tires with 50+psi, you're probably just following the ruts in the road. Is the road crowned? Perhaps there is another member that drives the same roads as you and can give some input?

yes LT michelin tires factory. it has wondered on all roads . drove it on a trip to iowa and back 800 miles . just seems to need pressure on the wheel one way to hold it on the road then all of a sudden head off the way you were holding pressure .then pressure the other way. i will check air pressure tomorrow .michelin tires i think have a tendancy to wonder around, weak sidewalls ....maybe?? just a shot in the dark,,,, thanks

My lifted 98 ram does that but it is on 33's and I have jumped it and wheeled it to hell. My 06 hemi ram is smooth as glass though. No allignment or oversteer issues. I also have the good year tires. check the psi.

try it out at 35 psi like most road tires and take it for a spin. see if that helps.
