I have more questions on my kit.Its a djm 3" lca front,beltec 3-4" rear spring.
Issue in having is raodwalking and bump steer.On a smooth road it holds straight,and kind of bumps and it darts both ways..If I can't find the issue in taking it all off..Do I need to replace the stock upper control arms for the djm ones?Would that help? Maybe I got a bad Alignment but I doubt it as I can let go of the wheel on smooth road and it drives straight.Defintion of bump steer explains my issue exactly..

Could be the balljoints, uppers might be worn and/or bad angles.

Could be tie rods that are worn out.

Could be a bad alignment.

Thanks,I'm doing pitman arm Friday ,hopefully that's it..When I took the truck to get aligned the measurements in front were 31.5" (right after install).when I got it back it was 31.25.Makes me wonder if front settled after the alignment?

I replaced the front sway bar end links and bushings..I also reinspected the front end components and found a little play in pitman arm..Changed that also and it does drive better,but it still road walks a little ..Bump steer is still there but more controlled..Maybe I just need a realignment?
