I have a 1984 Dana 60 and 14 bolt with hydro boost and push pull steering and mine is fine at speed and will put you through the windshield in a panic stop, so I think you need to adress what you have and find the problem.

You are correct. The more I think abt it the more I'm quite happy with how everything sits on the original frame body wise. I think the route of my problem is that the 56 front springs are held at the rear. With shackle at front . Every other push pull steering truck is mounted at front of spring and shackle at rear. I think my push pull and the fact that the leaf is mounted at the back is my trouble . Just wondering if I should update to newer leaf springs and change mounts around or should I try crossover steering ?
