1968 F100 4wd ..Lift 4" with 35s

Post by jeg1977 »

Hello I was wondering if anyone had a setup like this. I just bought this truck yesterday and it wanders all over
the road. From what I can tell it has the inverted Y steering setup. Also, it does have power steering. Any ideas on what to look for?
I have had lifted trucks wander but not this bad, on certain roads it was hard to keep in my lane. Thanks for any help you can give me..Also
I noticed for some reason the rear tires do not set out as far as the front ..

I almost guarantee that the caster is off from the lift. Take it to an alignment shop and get it aligned as well as a printout of the before and after settings. I won't get into the why's or the remedies here but you can search for them on your own.

Agree with what Mark said about the wandering, but wanted to add that this:

is standard for these trucks. The rear axle is 4" narrower than the front from the factory.

Does it still have drum brakes on front, or already been converted to disc. Plenty of people do it, but I'd hate to drive on 35s with drums.
