Do you have a drop pitman arm and an aftermarket steering stabilizer?

I was going to ask if you had a steering stabalizer at all...

How wide are your tires?
Fat tires pull into the tire grooves real bad and they don't like to stay in them either.

It was a new complete 5 inch kit. I just put on a old man emu steering stabilizer 15 mins ago and no difference. I called rough country told them my problems and they said you might have to trim the tie rod threads back 1/2 an inch . Why would this make a difference if both the places I got alighnments from said it was dead on ??

My tires are 33x12 not crazy wide or anything. and this thing is crazy lol the guy at the 4x4 shop took it for a test drive said it shouldn't even be on the road

Unfortunately this is normal for bracket lifts. Mine does exactly what yours does and I have a Superlift. The problem we are having is called tramlining : http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=47

thats interesting, thanks alot for that!! . i was lookin at the 4runner today and noticed it looks like the wheels are a little like \ / . apposed to my brother who has a 4 inch lift in his 91 pickup and his tires are sitting almost l l and he has no issues. maybe the shop is going from like stock numbers for the alighment or sumthin.

If the truck is aligned there's no reason it should be towed out like that in the front.
