help handling problem

I have Ann 85 Chevy K 10. I'm having stability issues. It's not so bad on smooth road. But on ruff road the truck darts all over the road and it's barely controllable. I have all new tie rod and tie rod ends. I have new shocks and a new steering stabilizer. I have 2 new tires on the front handsome used cars on the back with good trade it what do y'all think is the problem cause in the truck to be so unstable? I can't afford to just keep blowin money at it. The springs all set level the truck doesn't seem to have an noticeable problem withy the springs I have considered replacing the 2 older tires.

Re: help handling problem

it is a sold front axle. my k30 floats all overthe road off road on road is fine. what it is is the tire is not makeing enough contact with the ground do to the bumps in the road. in my c20 it is alot less but the rear end is still all over the place at any good speed
