Hey alabamatanker do you have a picture of your truck on level ground vs. the driveway? Also, what type of wheels/ tires are you running? Thanks!

Your truck looks beastly, K-tung. Do you have an issue with bump steer after the 3.5" level?

Thanks TXSD6.2. Yeah I’ve had some degree of bump steer before and after the level, even with the fox stabilizer. It’s not as bad now or maybe I’m just use to it.

I wonder if your kit had some caster shims to help with that bump steer. If not I am sure you can add a set to any kit.

His kit (ReadyLift 3.5") comes with radius arm drop brackets, which are supposed to address the issue. I read a thread from someone that added caster cams w/ a radius arm lift the other day and they said their truck with 5+ * of positive caster drove great.

I’ve thought about giving the shims a try. I’ve also been considering upgrading to a better setup and maybe going up to the 4.5 range and smaller rims.

BDS 2". Still gives a bit of rake at 1.5" higer in rear. I didn't want a completely level truck. Nice kit, especially with the new trac bar mount and Fox shocks. Will need a wheel alignment as the factory ball joint alignment cames were not equal and the supplied cams are. If running 37s with a negative offset wheel, you are probably going to rub and will have to trim a lot.

What offset? I have 35x12.5 on 20x9 +18 but haven't had them on the truck yet. Wondering if I could bump up to 37 when I do the level.

mine are -25 offset. So yes, you could go to a 37x12.5 and probably have no rub with your offset.
