Shimmy and Shake in steering wheel
I need some advice. I have a Teraflex 3" budget lift with 35's. My front end is all over the road. My steering shakes and shimmies. I have been properly balanced and aligned. How do I improve the quality of my steering?

What PSI are you running in your tires? Did you loosen all of your control arms when installing your lift? What parts were included with your budget lift?

It started after the lift was started. I think I have about 33psi tire pressure. The lift was installed correctly. Would front control arm drop brackets help? Would the AEV high steer kit be better?

33psi, yes loosened control arms when installing. It was the Teraflex budget boost(springs and shocks). I was thinking about AEV high steer kit or Front control arm Drop brackets, or both. Any recommendations?
