old bias ply tires help this problem to show up .

loose to no pre-load on king pin system also .

and only 2 ways to stop this on the drive . #1 = STOP and #2 = crazy horse power to power threw it witch 95% of us dont have under the hood .

trac bar wont help you much on our style axles . its the play in the king pin area of the knuckle that gets to bouncing .

that jeep in the first pic is a 4 link front coil sprung axle setup . way diffrent than our old super stiff leaf spring setups we run .

also if you want to try anything cheep first these trucks should have a steering dampener on the tie rod setup for sure . newer style vehilces after these were made got them . easy to retro fit on also .
