    So i have a question. 76k on my truck. I have a strut level rough country n3 in front and stock rear. I have added a leer xr100 (200 lbs ish?) 33inch grabber tires which are about 80% done. Here recently i started experiencing what i can only describe as school bus wobble . Its like when you hit a curb in a school bus or a box truck and the whole top half gets tippy sway back and forth a couple times with that top heavy feel. I just started noticing it when i hit bumps turning especially at low speeds. Is this an indicator my rear shocks are done? They are oem. The rc n3 struts have only about 15k on them maybe 20. Or could this just be my tires being pretty worn down? I got new tires and am about to put them on but want to sort out the suspension issue first if it needs addressing. Also, will be adding a coastal offroad bumper and winch, sliders and possibly a drawer system.... if i need to replace suspension now.may just go dobinsons heavy load and be done with it. What yall think

    I have noticed my tires have a little more play in them with 50k miles. Or at least it seems that way, I don’t recall the truck moving as much on the tires a year or two ago.

    Do the rear shocks look like they’re leaking? Swapping to new tires may fix your issue.

    I put new tires on and it did help dramatically. The other thing i determined are my rear springs are shot

    Glad to hear it got better. Are you planning on swapping to new OEM springs or going heavier duty?

    Ordered a new full dobinsons kit. 2in lift, the springs are heavier duty
