ive noticed that too driving in the ruts that bigger trucks leave...you might want to check the tie rod ends, as you drive in the ruts the tie rods are loose and wont hold the tires straight and true and youll feel it wandering more on roads like that compared to roads that dont have ruts...just a thought to look at.

yep, that and also don't forget about the steering stabilizer. with the 33" tires, you'll notice the ruts alot more with a bad stabilizer
