Loose rear end

Ever since I did my lift and tires I’ve noticed the truck feels looser in the rear. I’ve also noticed that the traction control light comes on often during turns. Now I know that I’ve changed the overall geometry, but what have others done to rectify this??

 

This has been a recurring issue for some after suspension work and tire upgrades. It's best to do the simple first.

Did you get an alignment ? After the alignment have you cleared and done a zero point reset?

Check that all steering and suspension bolts and ubolts are still tight and nothing has shifted.

 

Also, check tire pressure and possibly incorporate less fiber in your diet.

 

Can you provide information on the parts used for the lift.

 

should have kept it stock

 

Steering wheel position sensor, happens all the time when we lift them and it doesn't get reset during the alignment. It will go crazy when there's a lot of movement, mostly as soon as they take an off ramp, the long turning.

Like shimstack recommended, make sure it's reset to zero when you have it re aligned with your lift re retorque. You have to specifically enter the re set procedure through code link on a hunter align machine. Should go away.

 

King adjustable coil overs front, SBC UCAs, Icon RXT leaf pack, King adjustable shocks rear. Installed, aligned, and balanced by reputable shop. Follow up scheduled for this week after 500 miles.

 

Happened to me also. I gotta quit eating so many bean burritos.

 

That’s sound more like a leaky rear end

 

did you change tires with your lift install? when i went to E tires the rear became a handful. i did a number of things for it. i tried a traction bar and it helped a ton but was a poor design and damaged my axle so i removed it. after that i have done a Hellwig RSB, Archive Hammer hangers and the Archive crosstube. the Archive stuff is some of the best stuff on the truck, very highly recommended. but the first thing is look at is your tire pressures and shock tuning in the rear. if your rears are adjustable, first thing is to dial them back all the way and gradually increase rebound & compression while assessing. you need max compliance with tires & shocks both to begin to dial stuff in. if you run E's then rear pressures less than 35, probably more like 30-32 while assessing.

 

What tires did you change to? Tires would be my first thought.
