I just bought a 2006 F350 Megacab, 5.9L. The previous owner changed the front end parts to the 2014 front end and then put on a 3" lift with Bilstein 5100 shocks front and rear and then a 2" lift on the back to help level it.
I bought it with 18" wheels on it and also received a set of 35x12.50x20s to go with it. I originally test drove it with the 20's, but now have the 18" wheels on it and feel like it is very soft side to side. I don't remember it being that way when I test drove it, but can't seem to understand how it would make a big difference. What can I do to make this truck a lot more stable feeling? I will be doing a significant amount of towing with this truck when I go camping with my family and can't have an unstable truck.
What is causing this with just a 3" lift and should I just remove the lift and go back to stock? I can go back to stock or just a 1 or 2" lift if it will make a big difference.
Any good suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rich
