I got a Problem!
Wasn't sure where to put this becouse i'm not sure whats wrong!
The problem is when i have my foot on the gas teh truck pulls slightly to right, when i let up it pulls slightly to left.???
Not sure if alinment, breaks, suspention, or tires.
I had put a 3"Body lift, 2" susp. lift, and new 35" tires on about
four months ago. But problem is only few weeks old.
the susp. lift was:
crancked torstion bars to get 1.5" in front,
and took out 2" rear blocks and put in 4" blocks.
I hope its noothing i did to the lift!
the only other thing that hits my mind is the rear E-break.
I had truck in to ford to fix e-break was really loose (went almost to floor before holding truck. well they fixed it. (it was under warranty) and its back. Loose E-break (low pedal)
Now trucks not under warranty!
And i have lift, I'm sure they will say "its your lift!"
help me out!

scottie,
I would have a shop check the alignment. This should include a complete inspection of the front suspension and steering. You may find that one of the Ball Joints has failed. I had a rear parking brake seize on me. I don't believe that the parking brake will cause a switch in the pull. If one side is dragging it will pull to the dame side all the time.
