Suffering similar issues when I bought a used 22 power wagon sight unseen from a dealer 500 miles away that delivered it to me. When I got it, it had a 4" Bds lift kit in it (which was news to me). Cool, it's really tall. It also handled like a school bus. After writing off the handling as being an HD truck and after going from Raptor to TRX to PW, noises started in the front end. Horrendous creaking suspension noises. Took it to a shop and together we diagnosed 2 problems - first, a loose upper shock bolt, the the most crucial to handling was that the BDS adjustable track bar was over torqued by about 70 lbs. With it now tightened to spec, the truck still does not drive like either of the two trophy trucks with IFS, but it drives like it should.

Torque specs matter. Over torquing caused the bearings in the trackbar to wear and create slop and the tightness made steering an unbearable chore and felt like the truck was going to lose a wheel whenever nearing full lock out pulling in or backing out of a parking spot.
