While driving on different types of roads my jk doesn't like to stay straight. What do y'all think could be the cause ? Steering stabilizer or trak bar ? I have no idea. 2.5" teraflex lift bilstein shocks and 35's

What tires and tire pressure are you running? Too much pressure and it can be like running on bowling balls and be all over the place.

Alignment for starters.

Check the track bar heim joint hasn't wallowed out.

Ball joints stock? Wheel your stock axle hard? Are your C's bent?

I just pulled off my teraflex 2.5" coil lift with 5100s. The last drive with my new 35s it was all over the road. Changed to the aev 3.5" lift, problem solved. Feels stable as hell now

Do you have problems with drive shaft angles or u joints with the 3.5" ? Which shocks are you using ?

No problems yet with drive shaft but that's due to the geometry correction brackets. Still haven't really flexed it though. I have the 5160 shocks as I'm running the aev RS kit
