hello i just got my 99 ex lifted 3" and now when i turn the wheel all the way to the left the brake pedal push's all the way in, and i have no real braking when i make a complete left turn. Along with the brake pedal turning into a sponge when i make a fast complete stop the brakes will pulsate and the wheel will jerk o the left?? All these problems started after i added the 3" lift spindle and added 33 tires and changed the truck from stock. any ideas?
 






make sure the abs sensors are all plugged in(right by the hub Bering assembly or the complement on the 2wd version). also bleed the brakes.
 






I know this is an old thread but i had the same problem, the stock bumpstops for the steering compress the calipers on a full left or right turn, I just cut them off with the grinder and the problem went away, as for the spongy brakes, it sounds like you have an abs sensor out...
