Mid Perch done - Now binding

[Deleted member 12951]

I had the mid perch done a couple days ago. I am in 2wd and noticed now when I take corners (like pulling into a driveway) and turning all the way, like in parking lots that the front end is binding as it would be when in 4wd on dry surfaces. It's not quite as bad as being in 4wd but is noticeable. I had a couple guys get in the truck today and they all noticed it too but said it was because of the big tires but I don't recall it doing it before. I've only had it for 9 days but thought I would of noticed this prior to Tuesday when the mid perch was done. I actually didn't notice it right off the bat but the following day after I took it out into a field and did actually try out Off-Road mode and being in 4wd.

Is this normal after getting the mid perch?

stock BFG tires? No, shouldn't bind, mine never did in 2wd at mid perch

Yes stock tires.

Doesn't sound good. Maybe have dealer look at it?

get a buddy to sit behind the wheel and crank it lock to lock, while you look to see how everything looks under there. my guess is someone messed up when they moved you to mid perch, (although I can't figure out how if the truck is tracking straight).

I'm not experiencing any binding before or after mid-perch. I'm still running stock BFG's.

No issues here either. Have a 13 though.

Ok figured out what I did and now feel like an idiot. The 2wd/4wd knob was pulled out causing the rear-end to lockup so when I was taking corners one of the back tires was dragging and putting a nice black mark. Pushed it in, sensation gone. But it was a learning experience.

Glad you found that. I was going to suggest that as it happened to me and some other forum guys pointed out my issue the first time I went out with them.

Glad you figured it out. Surprised you didn't notice the differential light on.
