Re: Truck stance with Mono-leaf Lowering Springs

Another way to look at the bump steer issue:
as you lower the frame closer to the axle,
the angle of the pitman arm increases.
Unless you move the steering box, you are going to have some bump steer.

After removing 2 leafs, while on a test drive,
I was cruing at 50 mph, hit a few small bumps,
changed lanes to the right, then back again to the left into my original lane position. lucky for me no one was in the lane next to me.
Nothing like an uncommanded lane change to scare the you-know-what outta you.

I think maybe the mono leafs move the axle a liitl forward to help eliminate the bump steer. but I have not measured to se if thats true.
