Steering Issue

I'm curious if that it is normal for my K1500 to rock (lift) the front of the truck when I turn the steering wheel while the truck is not moving. Turn wheel right, left side lifts, right side dips. Turn wheel left, left side dips, right side lifts. Would this be inherent to a solid axle/leaf spring front suspension?

Re: Steering Issue

your truck will move around due to the tires moving through the arc of travel and caster and camber angles changing. This will be more noticeable when the truck is parked versus moving down the road.
