so I finally got the K5 running after putting crossover and 56s spring up front went and took it for a test drive and at 20mph it feels like the cars about to flip over :confused: before I had DW but fixed it by toeing in the tires but now I cant get this to go away and its bad, it really feels like its just the front driver side tire and not so much going side to side as it is hoping up and down, any suggestions :confused:
 
Make sure the u-bolts and other spring mounting brackets and bolts are tight (if the condition wasn't that bad before, always go with what you just changed as the culprit).

If everything there goes okay, try shimming the upper kingpin springs with a couple of washers. The stock springs are not strong enough to handle big tires, so shimming them almost always helps.
