My bet is the leveling kit is causing the insane hop and toe in. Even when I had stock wheels, the leveling keys were hurting me bad. I have sleeves and braces, BTW. As soon as I went to lower than stock all of my issues disappeared. It's a hard choice for some to make. Have it lifted up and looking sick, or have it low and fast. The only way around the issue is to get a real deal lift that relocates the front suspension and keeps the tie rods level.

The only true suspension lift are the ones that can drop the front diff 7" instead of 5"
You can go fast with a lifted truck, but to me its not a good idea.

Agreed... Its fun trying but its a pain in the ass and just puts more strain on everything when lifted...

I have 35's and my truck doesnt hop one bit when i do boosted launches and all i have are sleeves just in hops of saving some time till we do everything heavy duty ! I agree if you have your torsions cranked that would most likely be my guess!
