a few problems with my lifted 04 ram 2500

[ramit04]

I just recently bought an 04 Ram 2500 with the hemi. The guy said it had a 6" super lift and. 3" Fab tech body lift. Anyway it has 37" tires on it and when i drive it I notice it will just all the sudden pull to one side or another. I constantly have to fight the truck. It donuts have any play when sitting still so I'm not sure if this is normal for a lifted truck with bigger tires or not. Also I hear like a clunking noise when i go over bumps more so when there are several bumps in a roW. I can shake my sway bar from side to side. Could anyone help me on making my truck enjoyable to drive?? Thank you

So is that also related to the pulling from one side to another?

Check your trac bar. It may be lose. There will be (should be) a trac bar drop bracket that bolts to the top factory trac bar mounting location. Make sure those are all tight...that should take care of your pop.

As far as the pulling...your trac bar bushing could be shot. I know mine were and I had that problem. I'd turn, then all of a sudden it pull more that way. Check them bushing. New bushing are roughly $45

Ok thanks. Ill check. Should my sway bar be loose enough to shack back and forth?

Absolutly not...tighten that sucker down

 

[ramit04]

Ok. I will defiantly try these things and get back on here and let y'all know if it helped. Thanks so much.

Sounds like its time for swaybar bushings as far as being able to move it. As far as the wandering, jack up both sides and shake the front down the front end for play in the ball joints and tie rods
