hello all, I recently put on a set of 35" tires from my last truck, I noticed today a slight feeling of resists or binding when turning either left or right, doesn't happen all the time, I am running a 3" level in the front and a 3"Body with the steering extension, it doesn't seem to bind as I inspected it when I was putting the body lift on, in June I have a Zone 6" lift coming in with some 37" tires and just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issue, on a side not that will be the last time I put a body lift on,

any response helps, thanks

Something in the alignment or some part in your suspension/steering going bad. Check for play in the tie rods/control arms.

Thanks will do I have noticed a squeak from the passenger side strut lately, I have new struts coming in with my lift so hopefully it will clear up

Taller / bigger tire may require an adjustment to your caster, i.e. the angle of the pivot axis in which your tire turn left and right on. Think earth axis either pointed toward the sun or away. One will decrease turning resistance, but to much can cause twitch at speed, the other increase turning resistance but is stable at speed.
