Front end raises when steering wheel turned left.
There is a 6" lift on my truck I purchased recently and the front end goes up when turned left (while in neutral) and goes back down when turned right. It also is all over the road and feels as if the steering wheel "floats" when driving. Any help is appreciated as to what needs to be changed or modified. Thanx!

Re: Front end raises when steering wheel turned left.
I should have mentioned its pretty hard to steer at very slow speeds. It does need new tires and maybe just a possible alignment...?

Make sure the frame hasn't cracked behind the steering box. Also, check if it has a dropped pitman arm. If not, it needs one with 6" of lift.

That is probably caster doing that. Its a front end setting. Its normal with alot of caster.

I will check behind the steering box. I think your right on the pitman arm, I was thinking that when I was looking at it. Yea it could deff use new tires and alignment so I will do that all at once and see where I'm at.
