2000 4 runner with 3" fabtech lift

[anchoredsoul951]

so I bought a used 2000 SR5 2wd with a 3" Fabtech lift. The steering in a tiny bit shaky and pulls to the right. I just put new BF Goodrich LT285/75/16 's on it and it looks great. I will get an alignment soon but want to change the shocks. I was wondering what type to get and any advice on instal. I usually do stuff myself if I can. also what could be causing the shimmy shake in the steering?

Looks great man! I'm not sure about the shimmy in your steering though......

Is money an issue? If not fox shoxs
But id just get belstiens

And idk about steering either. Maybe stabilizer

Your truck won't have a stabilizer it could be several things your steering rack probably has a little slack In it it's pretty common on these

Yeah I didn't know. I some trucks have to have them.

Things to check/fix for steering:

1) Alignment
2) Make sure tires are balanced (since they are new skip this)
3) Check for play in steering rack bushings (very common)
4) Grab tire at 6 and 12 oclock see if it moves = ball joints
5) Grab tire at 3 and 9 oclock see if it moves = tie rods
