i think its my alignment,because i have been playing around with the tie rods trying to get the wheels straight and the steering wheel straight,and while messin around i got it t so there isnt much of a shake anymore

 

[Zookie400]

if you tow it in more it will make the shake go away because the tires are straining the suspension in one direction. its just a band-aid for the shake. if its pushing the front end up while going forward, and pulling it down when backing (and angling the tires like a teepee) then you have too much tow in.
check those tires like hemi hunter said as well.

anybody got any clue how much weaker my truck will be towing with 35' tires,like for exampleif im towing 5k with stock 31' tires,if i switch to 35' tires,how much more weight would it be like adding in stock form,anybody get what im saying,how much do the bigger tires affect it?

I did, I've fought that same battle several times now, and it's always the tires. Always rule out the simple, before tackeling the dificult.

Still it's a good idea to take it to the front end shop, and get it alligned to speck, since you've been playing with it. You'll be surprised how much better it will drive when alligned to speck.

This is normal for the F250 with a Dana 50 TTB Front Axle.

It is just how it works.

When you are backing up, you are pulling each side apart making them go up into the fender more and makes them look like that.

Nothing to worry about, just how it is

One way to fix it, Swap a Dana 60 in

thanks 4 the infoon suspension,can anybody answer this question up in the quote box?

Weaker?

Only weaker by the tire spec I would imagine, but I have pulled 10K with 38's and no problem

Should have any problems with 5K
