Christa, The fabtech steering kit does indeed make the steering more sensitive, but it should not be scary, although it does take some getting used to. I suspect a double steering stab would help a lot on a lifted H2 with the steering kit.

I only have single shocks up front on mine and think some much firmer shocks would be better too. I don't know how much better the doubles are, but maybe some firmer shocks up front will also help.

Pete, The steering kit should not make the vehicle "track" any differently and certainly should not cause the vehicle to pick it's own track. If it allowed that much free play, the tires would be wearing real bad and something would be seriously wrong. Aggressive tires will however pick their own track.

Even when I was running 37 SSR's without the kit, my H2 would defibnitely have a mind of it's own on the freeway and pick it's own track. A Rancho steering stab helped a lot with this, hence the reason I suspect a double steering stab on a lifted H2 with the steering kit would help. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks Phil for the post. We're not experiencing any tracking problems. It did that a little before this, nothing major and just normal due tire size. Now it will literally dart to one side or another and any correction made on the steering wheel will make it dart to the other side. Even just a half inch or an inch in movement on the steering wheel will send it off. It gets pretty severe and you start to wonder if it's going to flip itself. Driving around at about 30 to 40 or so it's not to bad but still noticable. We're taking it in to have the stabilizer removed to see if that changes anything. We're also going talk to them about the poss of adding another steering stab and see if that makes a difference too. Thanks for the idea. If we can isolate the problem than we can fix it. I hope!
