    Without writing a book im.looking fir advise..poor handling and wandering brought me to rebuilding my front end including shicks and axles..i did not replace control arms..in short im.questioning the rake or height adjustment..my frint end is 1/2 to 3/4 of a inch higher than my rear. .measured with no load on flat ground.. tge best i can describe is when im driving or steering on curves. I feelk like im having a dipping or floating in either durection im steering towards. As simple as switching lanes..if i have a load in my truck the feeling is 10 fold and defenitly enough to be concerned...ive also been advised to use a add a spring to my leaf springs....i can say when my buddy grabbed a frint wheel and shakes it. It shakes the whole truck.. so im wondering if this is the control arms im feeling ir if i shoukd start with the tirsioning height ir springs in the rear? Please advise
