....... Fair enough. Then tires are the next thing I would suggest. Don't take it to discount tires. I've seen plenty of people with trucks and such get their tires messed up from them. Take it to a real off road shop and have them do it. If that doesn't work then time to really start digging.

Solved! Not even a hint right now. I haven't taken it up to 70mph and hit bumps, but all of the bumps that once caused it my DW are no longer a problem.

Went with Synergy. Got an awesome deal from a local retailer and installed myself. Didn't take but a couple of hours and tool rental from Autozone. Maybe not as easy as a brake job, but worth it to save a few hundred bucks. Assuming you have the time and equipment.

Who ever you decide to go with, make sure you get adjustable upper ball joints. This will help with alignments.
