Just lifted my blazer I have a problem

[k51977blazer]

So I just put a 6 inch suspension lift on my 1979
Blazer it was used. It has blocks in the rear.two things first I don't have my sway bar connected yet and I haven't got it aligned yet. I took it for a test drive when I hit a bump it kinda bounces and I was just wondering if the sway bar had anything to do with also it pulls to the left and the steering is loose but I figure it just needs aligned the steering is upside down when my wheel is straight also, any thoughts
Thanks

Did you put in any steering correction, like a raised steering arm or dropped pitman arm?

Just the raised steering arm

No sway bar will make it feel a bit more bouncy

Lift will make it more bouncy. Un-awesome springs and shocks will make it more bouncy. Lack of swaybar makes the bounciness weird - you just have to get used to it.

As for the steering wheel, the raised steering arm only accounts for about 4" if I remember correctly. You're going to have to lengthen your drag link to get it back in. Park with the wheels straight (as best you can tell) and with the key turned to 'on' so your steering wheel isn't locked, turn the adjustment sleeve to lengthen the drag link until the wheel is straight again. It may take a few tries to get it dialed in. Hopefully you have enough thread on the tie rods to achieve this.

Also, if your drag link is pointed up towards the gearbox, it will cause weird steering and bumpsteer etc. The steeper the angle, the weirder. The drag link should be level.
