I tried a search bet didn't come up with anything I have a heep with a 400BB running 42in tsl's with high steer there is at most 3 in difference between pitman arm and high steer arm so almost parallel draglink. I'm running 44044 front leaves. For some reason when I turn the vehicle it choses to lift or squat rather than turn do I have any options other than stiffer leaves or hydro assist. It doesn't really have the problem when rolling but I could see it being a real problem on the trail if I get wedged against a rock or something. The leaves are not twisting or moving as I've seen this with too long of a shackle etc. where a panhard might help but mine stay perfect in line.

I would almost think that you have a lot of caster in the truck. How is your caster front and rear?

Lower it 3", put in a Panhard, or go hydro-assist...or just drive it like most people do.

I don't think caster is my problem front pinion is almost level with the ground

 

[Rockcrawler_101]

the pinion doesnt matter its what the knuckles are at.

I had the EXACT same problem in mine and believe it or not I was told to make the track bar mounting point at the frame the same height as the drag link at the pitman arm. It fixed it! This is after cutting the steering off and re-designing it three times! Of course I tried to make the two links parallel and about the same length to minimize bump steer. How that would apply to leaves I don't know, but I hope this helps.

hydro-assist is a beautiful thing! even with my "little" 35s. I can't imagine 42s without it.

I agree!
