Vibration with increase weight in jeep
When Im carrying camping gear or am weighted down for any other reason, I develop a steering wheel vibration at exactly 55mph. When I have no cargo, it is as smooth as glass. Any ideas? Only thing I can think of is change in contact pattern with tires, or maybe an alteration in the balance when weighted down.

Dead set zero, with maybe 0.2-.3 degrees with the pinion down. I really cant get my pinion down any further, my rear uppers are as short as they can go. Should I maybe add like 1/2 inch spacer front and rear to get the pinion down a little bit more? Or go with a progressive coil?
