I have been struggling to get my 74 to drive and track well on the street for months. The truck is "nervous" and darts around under acceleration, bumps, etc. at speeds over 35mph (I won't drive over 50). After tinkering for a while, I finally broke down and brought it to a local shop which has experience working on EB's and other 4WD vehicles. They spent the last few days looking at it and made some minor adjustments including putting my steering stabilizer back on, centering the ps box, adjusting the ps box (it's a new Delphi unit, they loosened slightly to find the center), centering the axle, adjusting toe-in.
They did what they could but said it is marginally better and not perfect. Suggest that I should consider changing my tires? My set up is as follows:
WH 3.5" suspension lift with 11 pack leafs and bilsteins
Drop pitman arm
Track bar riser and 3-way adj track bar and track bar drop bracket (welded)
New 7 degree c-bushings
New body mounts all around
New collapsible lower shaft and flaming river u joint
Just added 6 degree shims in rear
Tires are new 33x10.5 BFG KM2's on stock 15x5.5 wheels. My mechanic is suggesting tires are too skinny/tall and recommends a wider tire but I am looking to go back to uncut and want to keep the tires under the wheel well and avoid flares (going back to LUBR).
Appreciate any thoughts or ideas on how to make this thing drivable on the road.
