Not sure that we are

I'm saying you have roll oversteer due to way the rear of the wagon has been raised. Stiffer suspension and less roll will reduce the effect but brings with it other compromises.

Roll understeer (factory height or lowered leaf set-ups) results in a safe, stable steering feel.
Roll oversteer (lifted like your wagon has been) makes for an unsafe(?) nervous steering feel.

Also, as cheap has just mentioned, if the rear is higher than the front it is taking away front caster which won't help with the steeing feel either.



But that's enough fro me
