Suspension Problem 71 C10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

carrzy4 · 05-27-2009, 12:30 AM

Hey guys,

Ive got a 71 C10 2wd Long Box. Its lowered 2.5" front and 4" rear. Drop Coils only, no blocks or drop spindles. I have 18x9" rims that have 285/50 tires all around.
I know the front wheels are super wide but I couldn't pass up the deal on the 4 wheels.

My problem is when I'm driving down certain roads the truck seems to follow the grooves in the road and is very hard to control. It likes to follow the grooves made by semi's.

What can I do to help this problem, besides gettin rid of the nascar wheels.

Do I upgrade the sway bar? and would an adjustable track bar help?

What do I do?
