I installed lift keys to get it level & installed bilstein 5100 shocks. Huge improvement in ride - it was resting on the bump stops before. Took a quick test drive and the steering is very loose now that the front end isn’t resting on the a-arms! Planned on getting an alignment this week but I’m going to tear into the steering issue first. Suggestions on where to start?

What keys and shocks did you go with?

Are you happy with them?
Unfortunately it was done about 15 years ago. Best I can recall the shocks were Bilsteins, but can’t remember the keys. It lost a fraction of mpg but I thought it drove the same and looked better leveled.
