steering issues
 
Hello guys
looking for some help. i just pancaked my crossmemeber and moved my steering up the same amount i cut out of my crossmember which is 2 inches.
but im having a bit of binding issues.. As i turn the the wheel i can see on side of my front end move upward then as i start to turning the opposite direction i see it go down. Im thinking i got some sort of binding but i have no clue where the issue is.

Do you mean you see the whole front of your truck do this?

Like, you turn the wheel to the left, and the left side of your truck rises, and when you turn right, the whole right side of the truck rises?

Perfectly normal. It's the result of caster. Gives you self-centering.

Yes i do see the front end rise as im turning that direction and lower as im turning away from it. I really don't remember it doing that before.
