BOO on lift kit....maybe
 

Got a F-150 with 4wd and lift kit and stage 2 kit. put it all on and using soft springs the front end just squats down and when it squats down it also turns the wheels outward like opposite of cross-eyed. i don't get why it is doin it. i mean i can see exactly what is causing it but have no idea why. is it a poor design?? is anyone else having this problem? i will post pics later to show what i mean.

This is when you view from the top and regular stance

and this is when you compress the suspension

try straightning the tires out and see where the stress is at? If you already haven't.:)

It shouldn't be happening, I would double check your installation stuff and make sure it's all done correctly.

take a look at maxxitout's hummer he has a way to fix the problem with the steering that your talking about.

thx. i've seen some pics of ppl who tried fixin it but his makes it look a lot better. let's hope xmods gets this sh*t right next time. i don't get how they can release something that don't work right. they woulda been better off no releasing it because now it is just annoying. ok i'm done ranting. otherwise it's sweet.

its bump steering
 

since the xmod truck has independent front suspension, when u lift it, the steering has to be modified, because your moving the lower a-arms down, which hold the knuckles, which hold the tire, which turn. like what maxiout did, he used a z setup for his steering. this bump steering is not radioshacks fault, it is just IFS flaw and also the hole in the tie rod is too big and allow for it to move.
also use harder springs,

LOL, I been hearin and sayin that ever since RS got into micro and mini RC! RS corporate just doesn't seem to get the idea that a few flaws are not cool to put on the shelves anyway.

hahaha agreed. and i see how it is a IFS problem but if one of us can come up with a cure don't ya think that they could?? or should. i mean they got the lifted parts, why not make the tie rod have the Z design that maxxitout came up with?
