poor handling on highway

[Hotchkis]

BBC- 2" lowering springs, stock spindles, 18x8 front rims 255/40R18 (f)- 18x10 295/35R18 Rear

all hotchkis components, sway bars, lower conrtol arms (rear) edelbrock adjustable upper control (rear), etc.

I'm just wondering if this is common with larger wheels and low pro tires, or if i should start looking into this a little deeper.

thanks

Montanass – it sounds like there must be something worn out or loose in the front suspension components. Check all the ball joints, tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm, and steering box. Your car should not be wandering that much if the alignment is good.
