Double check your alignment angles, particularly Caster (the mother of stable tracking).

Nope... I ran the lift for about a week before the rims/ tires. It was fine... Went with a wider rim/tire...?

You need to get some front adjustable control arms to fix the castor and that will solve your problem.

Of course not you can get cam bolts if you want I would not recommend that though.

You can get a steering stabilizer and it will help a little bit.

You also will want to check air pressure in your tires, make sure they dont have 50 psi and they are all the same.

Sounds good! You may be getting a call very soon... I've been ordering my stuff from somewhere other than northridge and I think that may have been a mistake!!
