steering question

i put a 2 inch T.C. lift on my 72. 15x10 33x12.50s. have duel shocks in front, singles in the rear. the lift didnt come with any steering correction. i put a new steering box in a few months ago. i've got a problem with bumpsteer, and a mild steering wheel 'wondering' problem on the interstate. would a 2 inch steering arm help this problem? has anybody done any steering corrections on a 2 inch lift? if so what did you do? thanks

Sounds more like caster to me, did you install degree shims in the front leafs? If so, that may be the issue. Should not have to run a drop arm for a 2" lift, there is more than enough give in the system for that.

i thought it might be the allignment, so i took it in about a month ago. the guy said it measured up to factory specs all the way around. i'm in the process of getting new tires and wheels 33 1250s bfg at's on 15x8's. i'm sure that has something to do with the pull. i'll see how much that improves everything and go from there

When I bought my big blazer , it had bald 38's. It wandered so bad i thought I made a mistake buying the truck. Slaped some brand new tires on and it is straight as an arrow now. Worn wide tires suck.
