johnr Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 after i lifted the truck and put the larger tires on it ( 3.5" lift & 32x11.5x15 tires) the steering is not as crisp as the stock ride. i am not having any bad things happening but it just seems a little squishy for the lack of a better discription. its been sugjested that instaling a steering gear box from a durango and a v8 zy tie rod will help this? dose this sound right and if so why?

Pete M Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 32" tires will never react like stockers. there's plenty more sidewall to flex. what parts were included in the front lift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnr Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 its a rubicon express flex. came with front coil springs, adj lowers and adj track bar. the rear i used a 3" leaf pack from hell creek + 1" lift shackles from jcr and RE shocks all around. the bump stops are hocky pucks in the front and 2 x 3 steel tube extentions in the rear. also 8.8 rear end spring under. this is my first vehicle that i have ever driven lifted. perhaps this is the nature of the beast?

Pete M Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 that would be my bet. :thumbsup: and the reason why 20"+ rims are so popular with new trucks these days. People want both bigger tires on their big trucks but still want that car-like feel and the lower profile tires give them that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnr Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 sweet, then my attentions can be diverted to other more fruitful upgrades. dose the dakota steering box have merit should i break or wear out the stock one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 the internet convinced me to buy one (when I found one for cheap), but have not gotten around to installing it so I cannot speak from experience yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
