Oversteering after lift
Hi Guys.
I noticed that after I installed OME shocks and OME HD springs in the front, and General Grabbers, keeping the air springs in the back, that I oversteer a bit. I also noticed that it needs a wee bit of help to return to center. It likes to wander, too. It's nothing major, but it used to have 18" tires and I have ACE - it rode like a sports car. Is this normal? Can it be fixed?
Thanks!

Pretty normal, your caster is now out of adjustment which causes this to happen.
Mine went away when installed a True Trac front diff, you can also make caster adjustment.
What did you do with the rear suspension to level it out?

I used 2" spacers from Toddcosuspensions.com. Same price as rovertyme, but they included 2" front coil spacers which I sold for $40 to help make up the cost.

Is it worth $620 for what I would get? How about the install? Can I do it in my garage? Thanks for the help!
Let me clarify. When I turn the truck, it turns a little and then it turns a lot. It's like it "grabs" and all of a sudden the truck turns. It's not as bad as it sounds, but annoying.
Oversteer on a car this size and weight would be pretty difficult, but your situation sounds interesting. I wish I could help, but oversteer is where the rear of the car would actually be sliding out because it is losing grip.
