Installed leveling kit. Now have some??
New dude here
Got a question for y'all. Here's is what I had installed on my 2000 f350 cclb 4x4. New ford factory x code leaf springs along with a tuff country 2.5" leveling kit. Also had 315/75r16 cooper stt's mounted on the stock wheels. Tuff country kit came with a trac bar drop bracket. I gained 5" of lift in the front with the new x codes and leveling kit. I kept my stock shocks. They seem fine to me. I noticed while driving, that it seems to have a small amount of bump steer. Also, the axle has shifted towards the passenger side of the truck. I'm confused as to why it shifted to the passenger side. Shouldn't it have shifted towards the drivers side. It makes sense that as you lift the truck up that the axle is going to be pulled towards the driver side. As the truck sits now it seems to me that that the stock trac bar is too long and that I need a shorter trac bar to pull it back to center. Would an adjustable track bar help me in this situation? Thanks for any help

Alright got original track bar bracket reinstalled with the fab tech adjustable track bar. The drag link and track bar are now parallel. Before they weren't. It handles much better over bumps now. The m@$!er fu$&@?g axle is still kicked to the passenger side though! I think it helped a little bit but not much. Im going to take it to a real alignment shop saturday and have them craw all over the damn thing. Starting to think I'm just gonna have to live with it. Im really surprised nobody has ever encountered this or heard about something like this.
