"Bump Steer" with leveling kit

Really don't know how to describe it other than bumpsteer. Added the coils spacers and 35s and it steer horribly on rough roads. Any thoughts, thanks, Matt

I used an Icon trackbar, check out Truck Toyz they will have what you need.

I went the same route. You should also check out the caster cams, which sounds more like the problem you are trying to solve.

Icon adj. track bar is the way to go. That will pull your axle back centered under your truck. Although I suspect your bump steer is the same thing I got when I first put my level on. The level kit changed the castor to about 2.25 deg. You really want to shoot for 4 deg. or so. That should eliminate the bump steering you are getting.
