There is some torque steer when in 4x4,how bad are we talking? Have a look at your tie rod ends (inner and outer), they may be on it's way and with 4x4 it's just more noticeable.

 

Maybe the ADD isn't engaging? Put it in 4WD, turn off the engine, jack up the truck, and see if the passenger side front tire spins freely (it shouldn't).

 

you better be comfortable with me being soaking wet in a white t-shirt.
otherwise i charge people extra to wear a black t-shirt.

trust me, you'll want the black t-shirt option here.



i am a shrewd negotiator.

 

How much for topless?

 

In a thong...and bowtie

 

And olive oil

 

Who here got Hammer Hangers? I think there was someone that has ordered them.

 

It was really noticeable. I've never felt it like that when I use 4x4 in winter or when I do my monthly tests. I'm going to climb under and check the tie rods like you suggest. I haven't replaced them in 3 years of ownership. Had an alignment a few months ago and nothing was mentioned, but maybe they are just starting to go. Thanks

 

Going to try that before work tomorrow morning. Never even thought about that. Thank God for this forum lol. Thanks

 

I have the BAMF ones.

 

Definitely turn the ECT button on, it will make it much more lively.
If that's not enough, get a tune. i am running the OV tune 2.0. It is much better than the stock tune, but it does not make it perfect.

 

You had it on the old truck? Which springs did you have with them? I'm asking because I'm getting them and there's some talk about swapping the bushings from stock.

 

had them on my 2013 with Dakar medium springs. I have the BAMF shackles as well and did have to nip the corners off the Dakar springs. are you talking about swapping the leaf bushings from stock or the shackles? not sure why you would have to swap the bushings if they are ok.

took them off and will go on my 2021 when i get around to it now with Icon RXT springs. sounds like i will have to nip off the corners of the RXTs as well so they dont contact the shackles.

 

Thanks Scott!
They are getting harder to find!! That baby could be a 69- 72...I'd have to see the vin..thay are almost identical.
I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I'm up you way...so I can slobber on it!
