ScottyBones please read.

hey man whats up.

i just got my new wheels on as you know and the ride SUCKS with a big capital S-U-C-K-S.

it is bumpy, and it turns very bad it feels like the wheels are going to fall off.

any suggestions.
is there any way to keep the wheels from making such a horrible noise on sharp turns or keep them from rubbing so bad?

would the sway bars help?
what about the bilstiens.

will the bilstiens from the 2001 ford lightning fit on my navigator?



thanks.

Hey,

Whats the noise like? is it like the wheels are rubbing on something or is it something else. to fix the rubbing issue you can adjust the steering stops t keep the wheel from turning as far as it is now. I will let you know what you can do about that tomarrow.

When it comes to you truck riding rougher that is because there is less tire to absorb the bumps in the road. the only thing i can tell you is check the tire pressure and make sure they are not overinflated. if they are inflated to the max psi on the sidewall of the tire decrease that psi in the tires back to factory ford specs and keep a eye on the tire wear. it should not change if you lower the pressure, but keep a eye on it.

I will let everyone know how the swaybars and rear shock do after i get them on my truck.

thanks.
i am about to order some TOYO 305/50/20 in a few weeks. hopefully this will help a little.

the noise is from the rubbing i was just wondering if it could be stopped.

also is it bad to have this happen? i mean its not going to mess anything up will it?
