I'd check your sway bars. I broke both of mine, and that can make for an interesting ride.

I do now. But when I broke my sways I didn't. So, I decided to get a 2 inch spacer lift with new shocks and adjustable (releasable) sway connects. I also replaced the steering stablizer across the front and that made a HUGE difference.... In fact, that may be the issue. I totally forgot about the stablizer!

And I always upgrade when I replace something. So I got a Skyjacker Steering Stablizer. Best thing I did before the lift!
