    I run 70 psi front and back.

    I found with lower pressures turning seemed really sluggish.

    Also, RAM should replace that bar they welded.

    Like the previous post, they should cut those welds off so you can straighten your steering wheel.

    I never did the recall.

    I just slobbered the threads with Loctite and paint-marked them.

    Hasn’t moved in two years.

    I let them do mine before I wised up to what was actually going on with the whole recall.

    I'm going to see if I can get them to pay for a Synergy drag link when I muster up the effort to fight with FCA.

    im running a 20x9 wheel.. im a welder by trade so i thought about cutting it loose and adjusting then welding it back until i looked at it closely..whoever did it melted the threads up making it trash. I believe id of just put thread lock on it,wrenched it and called it a day

    Would a higher psi up front cure this or cause it to float more? It feels decent at 60-65psi. The track bar is on the to do list tho forsure

    Couldn't hurt to have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth while you watch things move up front if you haven't done so yet.

    What tire? Did you stay E rated? I've seen tire shops put C rated on our trucks when they have a 20" wheel as they stock more of them.

    What’s the max air pressure rating on your tire and what ply are they?
    Mine is 80 but at 70 I think I found the right pressure and it wears flat with no dipping/cupping on the edges.

    Good luck.

    I tried this shortly after the recall came out and took it all the way to the CEO of Chrysler.

    Was told politely to **** off.

    I went from 18" XD wheels with 35" Toyo RT to Fuel 20" wheels with 295/55 Toyo AT3 tires. I Immediately noticed WAY less tracking resistance.
    At first, it felt like it freed up the truck; there was no "felt" weight on the tires anymore. However, this quickly became annoying as it constantly requires adjustment to keep the truck in the lines, kinda floating like this post describes. I've honestly gotten used to it after almost a year of having them on, but it's still something I'm worried about in the back of my head.
    When these wear out, I will replace them with 37's, but I almost don't want to use the AT3 again because of this. It makes me sad because the traction performance in snow, ice, and rain seems to be as good as you could get from an aggressive tire. My thoughts are maybe the extra cushion the original tires had were minimizing a current issue? I'll have to check the track bar like was previously suggested here. My drag link bushing went bad, and maybe other bushings are wearing on me.
