    I have an issue I can not pinpoint. When accelerating from a dead stop or very low speed while turning left or right the front end feels like it is pushing through sand or the tries just wont grip. Almost as if the bed was loaded with a 3k pound load.

    It is an '08 TRD Sport 2wd V6 with tow package. The problem was there before I switched out the stock shocks to Billie 5100's that are set at the .85 setting in the front. I also added a
    $230 Hellwig 979 EZ-990 Helper Spring Kit
    Hellwig 979 helper spring set in the rear to help with towing. Again, the issue was there before I did all this.

    I appreciate any insight at what it could be. I have searched all over but can't seem to find a thread that deals with this particular issue.

    Thanks!!!

    I forgot to mention there is no vibration or shake at low or high speeds when going straight.
