Completed the F>R swap

So i finally finished my lft. Im starting to get a minor wobble in the front tires. I just installed IRO's ajustable track bar and wondering what could be causing the minor wobble. I'm running 33-12.5 that are not balanced and i havent gotten it alignd yet. So if i get the tires balanced and the vehicle alinged that will stop the slight wobble??

Alignment and balancing are two giant leaps in the right direction. See how it acts after those things are done.

Rusty, you know the drill. No Pics = no lift.

But, you are correct, balanced tires and an alignment will greatly help.

Boy 33"x12.5" unbalanced, that there alone could be the issue , those tires are heavy and they can be off by quite a bit with out a balance job done on them..

I trimmed 1 1/2in off the front fenders, and 1 in off the back. I had to trim back a little bit off the bumper, and trim in front of the rear tire. I used rubber door trim molding around where i cut to make it look decent. I also have 4.5in coils in front and netted 4in of lift in back. Pics will be up soon once i figure out how. Where in Mundelein do you have family??
