    Just a question , why do LT's steer like shit on pavement ??

    Is it because of all the gained travel/ relaxed articulated susp. er what ??:notsure:


    Ok let the flaming begin....:D

    That's the idea :)

    :anonymous: its all the sexting back and forth between you and me

    Kind of a generalization, I don't have issues with my steering, love having it as a DD. The body roll freaks people out.

    Thanks Eddie, yeah I shoulda been more specific, the one I drove liked to "wander" a bit in the steering, from a stock vehicle stand point, if it acted this way I'd have it jacked up in a heart beat looking for whats loose, but was wondering if this is normal... thanks buddy

    I can see that, I'm so used to the way it steers right now I'm sure I'd feel a difference jumping back into a stock vehicle. I don't have any wandering issues, maybe the way it was aligned or something?

    Thanks for answers guys & yeah I'd think with the radical change in steering/suspension components & geometry there would be a few extra tweaks needed even if aligned within specs..

    Front:

    Camburg or Total Chaos 3.5" Kit & if you want more lift you could go with the SMS 3" Lift Spindle. Double Shear UCA & Cam Tabs.

    Rear:

    Deaver F67's or Engage 50T Leafs (SUA) w/ a 12" Shackle, running a 16" or 18" Shock with bedcage or basic shock hoops. Frame plating for the rear.


    That basic setup will pretty much take whatever you're going to throw at it :cool:

    I suggest reading (if you haven't already) the following though before you decide you really want LT:

    Adding to what max said, if you get those spindles the F67s wont cut it. It'll be super bro'd out! I remember Nelsonmatt saying that so I would go with the 50T pack.

    That's true, so maybe the front height would come down enough to be level with the F67s..not sure. I'm just chiming in with whatever I read a while back :eek:

    Or just get some TT bedsides. I'm sitting at around 4" up front and 1" in the back and I "look" level :D
