Hello bigNAnative,
Here are a few suggestions:
- Check replace lose worn linkage components in the front end.
- Replace all rubber bushing with urethane bushings, especially in the front end.
- Replace your Monroe Sensa-Track's with a firmer shock, like Bilstein's or Rancho RXS's.
- (for a 2x4) New coils in front, (for a 4x4) new torsion bars.
- Add a rear swaybar.
