4" lift with steering drift problems
I have a 2007 f350 with a 4" lift. The truck drifts with every bump. Its like it has no self correction ability. Every bump you hit sends you slightly left or right and you are constantly making small corrections. I had an alignment done and all loose parts replaced. Didn't really help much. Please help! I love the truck but it's not fun to drive.

Do you still have your stock tires? If so put them back on and see if the problem continues. Yea it will look goofy but it's a good way to rule out your tire and wheel set up. I’m guessing that yo went taller and wider with the tire and also wheels if you replaced those.

Well that sort of complicated things. But beings you just had a new set of tires installed it’s highly unlikely for 2 sets to have the same issue. It maybe time for a shock upgrade. The shocks that come with lift kits generally aren’t that good and shocks are a wear item no matter what brand or how much they cost, though some of the higher end ones are rebuildable. Most of us on here are running either the bilstein 5100’s the Rancho 9000’s or the Fox 2.0’s. As of now I’m partial to the bilsteins but have no experience with the Ranchos I drove a truck with the fox revisor 2.0’s for about 2 months and wasn’t impressed but lots of guys like the non resivor version.
