Congrats man! A steering stabilizer will help with the wandering. When I put the 60 under and didn't fab up the bracket for the stabilizer I was all over the road

I think 35's or larger calls for dual stabilizer right?

Anyways you can gain an extra half inch? look s pretty freakin cenered to me man.

I don't think you need two for larger tires. I ran one for a while. But most after market kits are a dual set up

personally I like the looks of the duals or even sometimes quads, but I think quads is kinda overkill and sometimes looks to busy.

I was going to use a dual setup when I do my sas.

a stabilizer is a bandaid, they wander when the caster is too close to 0 it is supposed to be from 4-8* and seems to be best around 6

Well mine wandered due to large wide tires pulling the front end in directions it wanted to go

i ran bias 40's on the street with no wander(typical cold bias flat spotting yes but no wander), if you have roads that are crowned pretty bad i guess it would have a higher tendency, if everything is tight and aligned properly with reasonable roads it should drive pretty nice and not have any need for a dampener.

BBB is using 35x12.5 right now, those should not wander at all, something is not quite right, he did say the toe is not set so i am sure that is not helping things but caster generally is what causes wandering and slow turning response

well right now its on bald 33s. toe isnt set. once i buy new tires and get exhaust and shocks on it im going to take it to work and see how bad the alignment is off. should be able to get the exhaust done next week then its to finish the front shock mounts and measure for shocks and order my tires for the 17s. i only drove it down my street and back because of the no exhaust so i may drive it again and see if the wandering was just my imagination

also other issue is that the turning radius sucks. doesnt look like im getting full lock to lock. my pitman arm is 7" cneter to center and steering arm is 6" according to wfo. do i need a longer/ shorter of one of them to get full throw?

Jack up the front an have someone tune the wheel all the way both ways and see if the stock stoppers are making contact. If they make contact before the wheel is fully turned that could be your problem
