sonoran steel 1.2 lift

[JoeDuke]

i just installed my new lift and in the rear it seems like something is "loose" when i drive. any suggestions? or is that just the way it is?

Springs are seated right? just make sure everything is snugged up back there.

Did you do install an adjustable pan hard bar or pan hard drop brackets? I've read the ass end can feel squirrelly w/o one or the other (although I'm not running either and don't have any problems). Look at the back of your truck and see if your rear axle is off-set to one side.

you just have to get used to the new driving dynamics... but after a couple of weeks, it will feel "normal"

It felt a bit tippy and squirrelly in the rear (like the rear wasn't following the front's input, sort of disconnected), BUT after a few days, that feeling passed and it just felt like a regular truck (with admittedly a bit more sway). It was actually quite stable at speed, once you get used to it.

Now, take it offroading and the difference is amazing!

I have the same lift and have no noises from the rear. Can you give some more details on what you are hearing, or is this more of a feeling of looseness?

yea i dont hear anything but it just feels like it is swaying to the side a lot when i turn

 

[E30RUNNER]

are your swaybars connected?

Also I would make sure you get down and measure not just eye-ball your rear-axle. Panhard adjustments makes a big difference on "ride feel"

Any updates on this JoeDuke?
