Default 4 wheel parts sucks.

After spending a good deal of money for them to fix the alignment and the little wobble i had after installing a lift they told me all was good with it was safe to drive. Bull S@#T!!!! It drives OK on a perfectly flat road with no bumps on it. And after driving down to my moms house for mothers day i found out that it is dawn near impossible to drive on the interstate. In 2 miles of road i had to stop three times to get it to quit shaking and almost took out a guy on a motorcycle.

HELP!!
I'm sure its messed up more from the near death interstate trip.
Should give them another shot to fix it. I'm sure as hell not going to pay them any more money. I'm already $350 deep in just the alignment.

Did they install the lift? Or just do the alignment? What are the specs from the sheet they gave you?

Which lift/components do you have? (a way to adjust your caster?)

There are numerous threads on DW, browse through a few of them for plenty of tips on what to check. You should also read through this one:

I would start off nice with one of the managers, and only get mean if that doesn't work. I would tell them you have serious safety concerns. They probably don't want to be liable for an accident, injury or death. Remember be nice until time when/if that doesn't work, then come down on them like the plague. Of course I have a family full of Attorneys so that always helps. Good luck
