What causes this?

[86MUDRCJ]

When i turn sharp it feel like the truck wants to drive over the outside tire and chirps it the whole time. I would assume that it is because i lifted it. what can I Do to get rid of this issue?

Do you have a locker? Or a recently rebuilt limited slip? Can you guess as to which axle the "undifferentiation" is coming from?

I dont have a locker, and as far as the limited slip i don't know, i've never had either axle open. The noise is coming from the front axle.

Out of allignment or steering linkage worn out. Most likely your castor and/or toe if off.

yep.. alignment, and the fact that your drop pitman arm doesn't really drop enough, and its got your tie rods out of line...

Then that's why it's doing it beacuse i haven't put a drop arm on because it didn't come with my lift.

Yep. Classic symptoms of bad steering geometry. Get a drop pitman arm on there (the Skyjacker pt# FA600 is a perfect match for a 4" lift, however other (less drop) arms in some cases can still bring it to a point of being acceptable, though it won't be dead-on).

Well i am going to be putting explorer leafs under so it will be 6" when finished. will it still work?

superrunner steering... is nice. once slightly modified. but is like $500 new, notice my sig-- i'm looking for used for a reason! lol

but yeah the skyjacker fa6000 would be the one i say to get. the extreme drop. don't waste money on the 2" drop that comes w/ the 4" lift... idiots, idk why they think that's a good idea. lol

Proper geometry is hard to nail @ 6" of lift. Ask me how I know If I were to do it again I'd probably only go 4" of lift kit and some washers/spacers to put it around 5".

The FA600 will work pretty good, but not great for 6" of lift. Will be lightyears better than the FA400 for that lift amount....however if you can stand slightly less lift, it is pretty darn perfect for 4" of lift (4" of drop for 4" of lift ).

Gotcha. well depending on what happens when the tires go on. I think i might just run cutouts and that should give me enough room in the frnders.
