Alignment problem or tires?

[Erikclaw]

Huh, I would have never thought of that. Have you tried to instal the stock stabalizer with the bilstiens to see if that helped?

Do not install the stock stabilizer....at least IMO, I wouldn't.

As long as the Bilsteins are valved the same as each other, not blown and mounted in an opposing manner, it's not the shocks.


In the future I'd recommend getting a print out of your alignment specs when you get alignments done.
Depending on where they are at...it could be "in spec" but not where you want it for your setup.
A good shop should know where to setup 05+ trucks for the best handling....especially important the taller that you go.

Of course also check to make sure everything is torqued to spec to rule that out as well.

The stabalizers are mounted correctly and every thing is tight. I guess I will start calling around to see who might be able to rectify my situation.

I printed out specs off all data to have the truck aligned to thats what the shop used and there is still a problem... when the guy from the one shop pulled of the bilstein steering stabilzer off the mount it pushed his whole arm out of the way ( this guy was not small) they said to take them off see how it runs and put bds steering stabilzers on... i just havent gotten around to it

Ohh yeah, when I installed them it took most of what I got to compress them so the bolts would line up. I'm not exactly a weakling either.

I'm pretty sure that those aren't my problems. I don't get any movements through the tires, and I don't have play in the steering system.

does your truck pull to one side???

[Erikclaw]

No, it goes down the road straight. That has never been a problem either. I just look drunk driving down the road.
