Worn Springs?

[bacon612]

Hey guys. I'm getting some chop on the outsides of the front tires of my 99 Denali. Its bone stock. 298k miles. I replaced the HD bilsteins in it yesterday morning thinking that that was the cause. Each one that I removed, i tested for spring rate and the old ones seemed good. Im getting more body roll than i remember. Do any of you think that I need new font springs and leafs in the rear?

check for any worn suspension parts and see if the the side to side ride height are off. alignment and tire rotation are key as well.

Thanks sunlit. Front end is tight. Tie rod ends are good. Pitman arm done a while ago. Its a high miler but I work hard to keep it in shape. Running my third set of bridgestone dueller At revo 2s. Get them from Firestone complete auto care with included alignment and rotatation. Rotate them at 5 k religiously. Service advisor told me that it was likely my shocks when I took it in a few days ago. Had 150k on bilteins so I replaced them but I think shocks were fine. Was wondering if springs ever go.
