Rides too stiff in rear
• Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all pivot
points.

• Check rail slide/replace if worn (see page 114).
• Install Accu-Trak dual skags (see your dealer).
Front end pushes
• Check for worn skags.
• Set static sag (see page 46).
• Check for binding front suspension shafts and steering
components, grease all pivot points (elevate front of

• Increase IFS preload (if equipped) (see page 42).
• Install single skag (see your dealer).
