Very Nice!!!
I will be getting the Fabtech HD steering kit next week as well. From what I read on this board, the extra sensitivity from the steering is normal after getting this kit. And I think most ppl actually likes it after few days of driving/getting used to it? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Wilfred, let me know how your kit works out for you. I don't think our problem with the steering has anything to do with just getting used to it. We've lifted vehicles before and we've dealt with that. This is much more extreme. Even the guys who did the install said it's not normal. It darts pretty severly from side to side with the tiniest movement of the wheel. It was doing it on it's own at first. Felt as if you had an extremely over-loaded trailer fishtailing behind you jerking the truck around. They've toned that down somewhat by changing the toe, but it's still not right. It's better, but at higher speeds it's still pretty scary!
Let me know how yours turns out, i'm curious as to how yours will feel.
My husbands theory is that the original shock on the stabilizer was 16" long. The new shock, which is much larger in diameter, is 22" in length with only 2 1/2 inches of shaft exposed. So it seems to him that instead of having of a dampening effect, it's created almost a solid bar for a steering stabilizer. Does that make sense? If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate the input.
