What problems are you having?
Maybe we can steer you in the right direction.

my2 biggest problems right now is that the truck feels like it "skates" to the right when you release the gas pedal and when you  accelerate as well.
The other problem is that at certain times the truck will wobble from left to right continuously until you release the gas pedal .the truck itself has a 3 inch body and suspension lift and is running on 33' tires .The shop guys here say its because the center of gravity is higher now .but it wasn't this bad 2 mths ago and the modes were done a year ago.I also changed the shocks to rancho RS900XL.the suspension lift is from Calmini.
hope you can help

Everything in the front has been replaced .It's the rear that wobbles Violently from side to side When you go over a bump.I'll try to upload a video and show how bad it is
