True. I even replaced the steering gear. The original was fine but had to go as part of the steering conversion. I did find one of the four mounting bolts sheered.

Agreed. I'mnold enough to have used a bubble balancer at the Ford dealer and then the "new fangled" dynamic balancers. I'm sure the truck will smooth out the rest of the way when I pick the ten pounds of weight off the rears lol. I'll use shot if I need to go further. I wish I wouldn't have put...

So after more driving, so far so good. From what I can see on my personal truck, it was primarily a tire issue that started the wobble issue. The issue was always brought on while braking and once started, would not go away until muscled over to the side of the road and stopped. Very violent...

Thank you! Looks like you have six leafs left besides the bottom overload. Mine has eight. I'll probably leave six as well, possibly five. The zero rates will add another inch of static height.

I'm finally getting around to adding the zero rares and u bolt flip to the back of my truck. It has the ord shackle flip lift on it now and the axle needs to be moved back. While I have it apart I want to remove a couple leafs from the rear springs for a better ride both on and off road. Any advice?

So anyway, aside from that, I just drove it around awhile after rotating the tires. Too early to tell just yet but the truck drives better and hasn't done it yet. The tires that are now on the front have no balance weights whatsoever. The ones I have moved to the rear have all sorts of weights...

Today my plan rotating the tires and replacing the stabilizer. Not much left to try but it's getting worse the more I work on it which is wore discouraging than I care to admit. It's almost constant now and more violent than ever. I think the severe toe out that it had was actually keeping the...

Thanks. I had the wobble before the crossover as well. I was hoping it would go away with the upgrade. I wish I would have paid a little more for the gear from ord that had the extra port for assist but woulda, shoulda coulda I guess.

Yes, my next step is rotate tires. I have 12 bolts and 37s on the truck and I think it's the PVC warlocks that keep them so unbalanced. We'll see how it acts with the swapped tires. On a side note, this truck does NOT act up on bumps. It's always while braking but it's not a rotor issue.

Has anyone ever come up with a real solution to this? I was almost thrown out the window today lol! I have an ord lift and zero rates. New front springs. Just replaced steering box, king pin bushings and springs, added crossover steering from ord, set for (found it was toed out) and checked...

Here are my batteries and my $5 waste gate actuator if it helps. Ex

Mines still working great after two years. I should adjust the spring as its been boosting about 15 psi for awhile now.

85 initial 125 final I believe?

Here's mine doing what I built it for.

That would work fine if you don't have the factory stuff. It's only money right? Some folks prefer going this route to move the return away from the exhaust manifold.

Agreed. Doing things this way makes it like the factory did it. Why re-engineer everything when its already done for you and it fits?

Got that right! Really bothers me when people get ripped for posting how they like their trucks. Good ideas on your post warwag. I also have 37s on H1 wheels and it made a huge difference toning it down for decent speeds. The truck goes 65-70 easily but overdrive would be really nice. My TH400...

The down pipe puts the exhaust OUTSIDE the frame rail, not inside. Easy to fab up a system but you won't get one out of the box a NAPA. For really serious off roading you'd probably want to modify the crossover for more clearance but I drive this truck through the woods with heaping loads of...

I just used longer bolts.

It's a real tight fit on mine but I just went ahead and did it as all of the posts I read were done that way. I was actually looking to have a 1/4" copper spacer made but the guy I was emailing never came through.
