Check your rear springs as well. I spent a lot of time chasing a front end problem on my wife’s pickup and it was actually in the rear suspension. My crawler had a similar issue to yours though and it ended up being the ram. It was a little loose on both joints and the slightest movement of the steering wheel would kind of hammer the ram through the slop and in the joints. I don’t know if that makes sense?
Mine didn't show with that.
I ended up finding slightly lose ubolts, made a huge difference, then finally checked the bearings, and tightening them fixed.
Now I can let someone else drive it.
Did a quicky skid plate for the trail run. I’ll add more bracing, cut down the back edges and paint it later.
I don't think it is thick enough........
I dig it!
Only 1/4” and I intend on testing it.
.........that was a sarcastic comment it looks plenty thick enough.
It’s more about the support under the plate than the material itself right? I know I need to addd a little more but I wanted some transmission pan protection for the run this week.
that plate is thicker then mine, mine has done fine. You will find that it doesn't really get hit to often. Short wheelbase with big tires and a big lift going to clear a lot of things.
the upper stuff should be fine unless the whole thing fold over, but I do not see that happening.
When I take mine off it goes BOOOOIIIIOIOIOINGGGGG and I have to use a floor Jack to put it back on.
I agree with this statement. My F150 is only solid axle swapped on 35’s and I never once touched my rock sliders or belly in rocks down in Disney. But I also don’t care about mine like you do yours so that’s likely why I got lucky
Nice work as usual! But did you figure out the steering problem!?
Yeah the damn upper shackle bolts on the front springs we’re backed out a little. Also adjusted the toe this morning, it was around 5/16” so I adjusted that back to 1/8”

I may borrow some of this. It's a perfect balance for what I would like one to accomplish.
Rubicon bound!
