front suspension from a newby

[sctrucker]

here is what i have to work with, 99 4x4 with about a 3" lift and 35" m/t's problem is when you drive it its all over the road and when you back up it wants to go pigeon toed, it has some kind of lift on it but i have no idea what brand or anything so i will try to describe it,, it has like drop brackets on pretty much any of the lower brackets and some kind of "tower" for the upper ball joint, the next part is where i believe my problem comes in, its the drag link, it is kinda like bent down on each and making up for the lift and then it has a brace between where the inner tie rods connect for support i imagine, problem is when you try to back up the drag link swivels toward the rear and lets the tires go pigeon toed, it even hit the drivers side cv axle when i backed it out of the shop today. i just replaced the pitman arm and the idler arm and the left inner tie rod and while the problem is not as bad as it was its still there so i need some advise so i can get this thing safe to drive, any help?

Need to put up some pics of this "lift" maybe the collective knowledge can figure out what's on it and we can go from there.
My first suggestion would be take it back to stock. Or replace the lift with a reputable one.

i been really busy but i finally got back to the expedition today and found out its a trail master lift which in my opinion sux badly, seems they dont carry the components for this particular lift any longer and only offered the advise to MAKE some sort of rod to go from the top bar of the lift to the cross member using some clamps and heim joints. a really sorry company if you ask me, the guy that i talked to there knew exactly what i was talking about but said they no longer have anything for that lift soooo they made a defective product and anyone who bought it just got stuck all i can say is IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUY A TRAIL MASTER KIT BEWARE

Zone offroad makes a quality kit in the 6" variety. I have one on my f150.

You should either buy a new kit (Fabtech or Zone) or replace with stock parts.
Sounds scary the way that lift is done???!!!
You could put in a 3" body and 2" rear spacers with front TT so you could go back to stock parts. and still run 35"

Need to put up some photos of this "lift" maybe the combined information can determine what's on it and we can go from there.
My first recommendation would be take it returning to inventory. Or substitute the raise with a reliable one.
