i got a 85 ramcharger 4x4 , i put a 4 '' lift on my truck a year ago and wanted to go with 35 '' so i had to get more lift so i put the shackle flip in back and only but the factory lift block back, in the front put some longer shackles in to lift it ,

after i got the back done i drove it and it sways real bad now feals like the rear end is moving from side to side but i dont know ? it wants to dart to one side if i hit a dip or a truck passes me on the raod .

if any one has done this to there truck did u have this prob if u do have u got a fix to it ?

when you did this, you said you put the factory block back, does this mean you took off your u-bolts? if so check and make sure they are tightened properly, from what i have heard and having done this myself, there is very little sway involved after doing this

also, it says you have a 4 inch lift, and the factory block along with the shackle flip, so if i am reading this right you have over 8 inches of lift in back, is this right?

if so just having that much lift in the rear may be part of the problem
