Last week I pulled the trigger and ordered a 6 inch BDS lift kit and some American Truxx 26x14 DNA wheels with a set Fury MT tires in 35's. Everything was installed over the weekend and I'm extremely pleased with how it all turned out...my only gripe is the steering seems a bit loose compared to what it was. Other than that its a blast to drive!20200414_065356.jpg

Wow! Any rubbing with that wheel setup?


Yea, theres no way in hell that thing will steer like it did before given your tire/wheel setup.

Yeah I get some minor rubbing right before I get to full lock but it took some major trimming to get there.

Would a steering stabilizer help firm up the steering a bit?

Possibly.


If you still have the stock wheels/tires, maybe toss those on and see how it drives. If it still feels wrong, it may be more of an alignment thing. But, regardless, with those wide wheels I would expect some negative steering feedback.

I would put two steering stabilizers with that set up.
