Changed the torque arms...
 
Holy CRAP did it make a difference in handling/smoothness!

If you guys notice that the ass end of your truck feels loose and clunky, change BOTH torque arms.

I really noticed stability in ruts and going over railroad tracks.

I drove down the interstate for one mile without a hand on the steering wheel, and it went dead straight.

would you know the best way to monitor the tread wear on the steer tires? by just a visual check, it will be too late when you notice a differance. i just have a hard time with the depth checkers getting a good reading all the way around.

Try a tread depth gage; very simple to use. Be sure to check in 3 different places around the tire and use the average as your tread depth.
