So I just bought a 96 f150 with a 4"rough country lift and 34" tires. I was backing down my driveway and all of a sudden my front tires are dragging in the gravel. I get out to check what I was running over and I see that my tires are toe in and have negative camber big time. As soon as I drive forward they come right back up to fairly straight. Still a little toe in. Then I was driving down the road and I got what everyone describes as the death wobble. I am almost afraid to drive the truck to the shop to get it aligned. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I'm kind of at a loss and need to get this taken care of.

 

These F150s are like that. If you drive in reverse, your tires are going to look like this / \. If you drive forward, they'll straighten up. All these F150s do it because of the TTB suspension. You probably need an alignment from the 4 inch lift though (if it wasn't aligned after the lift was put on)

 

my brother has a 93 f150 and his tires do it some, but NO WAY near as much as my truck does. I mean it is so bad that the tires don't roll in reverse they drag.

 

when in reverse, your tires will do this / \. if they dont straighten out when you go forwards a bit, then you need an alignment.

 

anyone think a steering stabilizer would help?

I got the truck for driving in the snow and now we have snow but i'm afraid to drive it. Do you think i need ball joints, tire rod ends, bearings???

I don't know what may be wrong with the truck to cause this severe of a problem.
