    I don't know. There are several people on here that run the exact same setup and have no issue. Telling him to go buy a new lift is rediculous. OP you really should get several pics of your setup and see if some of these Pro-Comp guys on here can help ya find your issue.

    Jesus there's a lot of mis information in here.

    First, everyone quit getting your panties in a wad, the spacer does not preload the spring, it goes on top of the top plate, and uses a drop bracket to accommodate for it at the LCA.

    Second, since it looks like you have a pre runner OP, just remove the lift and get a set of spindles if you want to maintain the height without the terrible ride.

    OP. From what i have read you have a pro-comp stage 1 6" lift correct?
    (his shocks are not preloaded, they are just spaced down to reach where the drop bracket brought the lower control arms down to)

    What is this you say about movement in your lower control arms? That is probably where the looseness in your steering is coming from.
