4" Lift Bump Steer

Just installed a 4" Superlift (springs) and now when my pass. front tire hits a bump, the truck jerks violently. What gives?

Did you get a raised steering arm or a dropped pitman arm??
If not that could be part of your problem..

Well I'll be one of the first to introduce you to the world of lifted chevy trucks..

Anything that changes the geomotry of a stock steering setup plus adding larger and possible wider tires will cause bump steer..

That is why a good amount of folks go to the crossover steering. It eliminates 90% of bump steer..

You could try a dual steering stabilizer, but that will just cover a problem ..
