Are any of you guys getting bump-steer while cornering on mid-perch? Whenever I hit a significant bump in a corner, my steering wheel gets "light" and moves in the direction of the turn. In other words, if I'm cornering to the left and hit a bump, it's as though I'm sharprening my turn to the left because my hand moves more in that direction. Another guy on here posted a similar experience, and I suggested it needed a toe adjustment, but mine is within specs and I'm having the same problem.

Otherwise, the ride is fine. Thoughts?

$ 294.36 I am perfectly happy with the cost for the drastic change in the vehicle. I was not expecting such a definite change.

Looks great! [edited after I looked at pics again... damn beer!! :) ] So it doesn't increase as much as I thought it would, but basically the 1.75" more. Geometry would tell me that it probably raises the overall cab height by less, hence it MIGHT fit into my garage. (I have about 1.75" clearance from a vented sunroof position to my garage opening).

Thanks

Thanks

I think the dealer was lying or just did not know what they were talking about....

My truck was built on 6-7 and no change to the front shocks, I still have all 3 perch settings...
