Sounds like you have negative caster !   Take to an alignment shop and have them  check your caster..  I can bury my speedometer on the freeway with 36" swampers and still goes straight.

What? Is this with a Suzuki engine in a Samurai?

ok if you have spoa lift combined with power steering i suggest you get a pan hard bar otherwise it will be all over the place ::)
i have no power stearing as of now does that make a difference
88.5 samurai 8in springover lift 32x12x15 firestone RMT's on black rockcrawlers lockers front and rear with auto tracker seats sidekick gears custom bumpers front and rear spray in bed liner soon to come winch, paint, top,  hopefully a 1.6l swap full roll cage and some other

 I got the 6" spoa on 31" swampers and it's a little squirlly on the hi way to, I put new shackles in (BREEZE) and it helped but not much.
 I then put all new bushings in (ENERGY SUSPENION) that helped alot more but still all over the hi way, next I'm gonna try the pan hard thingy or the shackle reversal( I don't think I want the positive on road for negitive off road thow)

 BTW the bushing are Urathane and $30 front/ $30 back Canadian at any auto store (just ask)

 Steve :)
When this thing hits 88 MPH your gonna see some serious sh!t (hahaha)

I,m with Eric on ...What ? 1.3 Sam engine ( even w/cam, Weber and header, blaster coil or whatever mod )turning 36s.  Please tell us how you do this so we won't have to pay big bucks for larger engine swaps... Double cases? Clune V ?  Nitro injection ? Micro gears ?

Your just kidding right    ;D  ::)
