Any ideas? When the shake does happen, it feels like it is going to to throw the ladder off my ladder rack and into the ditch 15' away. It's pretty bad.
Check your king pins, they caused my death wobble...Mark

Thanks for the advice. I don't have any lift on my truck and the truck is in the shop. I'm not sure how well that would go over with me explaining that I wanted to do crossover steering.

I would just like to stick with that cheap bracket. It lasted a long hard life.

What is the problem? Steering box mounting plate?

I have a used one i could sell but you may find a better deal closer to you.

Just sold two of them to one of the guys here on DTR. Maybe you can buy one off of him, as he has a pair of them to use for backup.



Pay it forwards, Paul......
