tippy feeling

I have a 2008 tacoma 4x4 and i have 3 or 4 inch lift and it feels a bit tippy around corners or if i hit a small rut on a gravel road . Is this normal ?

 

At what speeds? Off camber road? What are you making the 'feeling' comparison to?

 

Is the sway bar still intact ?

 

it just started happening a little while ago , the only mod i added was the air bags ? i will check out the other stuff
thanks

 

What kind/brand of lift do you have? Big difference going between 3 and 4 inch.

 

So you have a lift AND air bags? Or is the rear lifted WITH airbags?

Bags are good for load compensation on a weak OE spring system like the Tacoma, mostly in straight line driving.

If the bags are engaged when they should not be, they will negate actual spring action and worse, damper action, which could easily cause an unusual feel. Try setting them at the minimum recommended inflation and see if it changes.

 

I run my airbags between 30 and 45 psi. It feels much more stable than when they are run at lower psi (to increase travel while offroading). Are you running a "T" for your airbags? Mine are isolated for better stability. I also have not had a sway bar for about a year, but never felt it created instability.

 

Just get some of these:




Seriously, depends on a lot of things: swaybar, spring rate, tire width, load, shocks, etc. Mine has a higher COG and pizza cutter tires. It always feels tippy, compared to a car. Even with the swaybar. It corners great for a lifted truck though.

 

My lift is ome in the front and 1.5 spacer in the back . my air bags were added for when i carrie my atv , they are at about 10 lbs when truck is enpty . the air bags are isolated .
