Okay, so I am having a problem, I have a 1500 3"rough country suspension lift everything in front end is new as well as the rack and pinion and just got new tires and rims 285/70r17 road venture at. So I picked up my truck yesterday and my truck still has road wander really bad. It is really sensitive I can turn the wheel a 1/4" and I am in the next lane very hard to stay centered had the alignment checked and it was good. I cant go over thirty five to forty mph or I start to look like a DUI. Anything I can do to have it not be so sensitive or upgrades I might need? I drive my kids in the truck and I will not now because it is like instant anxiety. Thank you in advance for all the help.

Good evening.

Did you have an alignment done at the end?

What about the rear suspension? If something is out of alignment it will cause this issue.

Yes, they checked the alignment and the rear not sure. But the lift kit is not old and that was done by a pro shop. It feels like driving I am fighting wind from both sides very hard to maintain center lane.
