Hi Trevor

I have essentially the same setup and haven't noticed a problem - but that could just be me.

Have you had your wheel alignment checked by a suspension specialist? Some "Tyre Chain" wheel aligners only check toe, and don't do camber or caster. If you're interested, Tyrepower at St Agnes (yeah, I know, "Tyre Chain" :P ) should be able to help - they tell me my caster needs attention. :?

Cheers,

Scott

trevor,
if you fancy a ride down south, then i can recomend Darren @ total traction tyres in lonsdale. knows his stuff and took the time to check and alter all my settings after my lift. drives very nice now. im only running 265/75/16 though. you may have met him up at whyalla last year? his number is 81861011
