Just installed my TF 2.5" coil kit.......looks great...wasnt to hard by myself, does anybody have issues with a wobble from the front.....its not bad, I am getting a new steering stabilizer this week and hopefully that will take care of the problem.....if not....is anybody having drag link issues....

 

Also my front driveshaft is rubbing the transmission skid plate.........any suggestions?

 

Are you running the shock extensions, or new shocks? The driveshaft contact is an issue for most people and the only ways to fix it are to replace the driveshaft, replace the skid, or remove the skid (you can trim it too, but then the strength can be weakend).

When I did this lift over the weekend I didn't have any wobble. If you changed your tires or wheels (or added wheel spacers) at the same time this could be where the problem is coming from. When you do any of these things you are increasing the leverage they have on the steering components, so if you had a bad steering joint before then it will amplify this problem. The drag link does take a few times of adjusting, going for a drive, adjusting and then going for a drive to get it where it needs to be.

 

Check your track bar bolts. Actually check all the bolts. Make sure nothing is loose. If it is loose make sure the hole is not an oval now. The kit gives over 3" in the front of some jeeps, so your caster may be kinda shallow. you may want to check that. I would fix the problem before you install the SS. The Steering stabilizer may just mask a problem.

you could trim the skidplate a little. Best solution is a cv driveshaft.

where is the before and after pics?

 

I had a rough country 2 1/2 lift installed with new springs and shocks, has factory 17" tires and wheels on it and after the lift was installed I noticed a wobble too in the front end, I have the factory steering stabilizer on mine also, if I hit a bump in the road going over 50 it seems like I notice it more, I had a four wheel drive shop put it on so I figure it should be installed right,I HOPE!!

 

It has all new springs and shocks......I think it might be my drag link and tie rod ends.......I have wheeled it stock for over 1 year pretty hard......I had already noticed the wobble before the lift and I think with all the linkage now at different angles.....thats probably the problem.....my boss had a similar issue with his 4 door....I will have pics up in the next few days....

 

I put the same kit on this weekend, and I don't have any wobble. I did put a new JKS front trackbar on at the same time. I'm going to put a pair of front control arms on at some point to correct the caster too, just because the handling feels a little "loose" to me. It doesn't wobble, though.

 

Im savin up to do the flip kit and put all new linkage.....i want to beef up the steering before the 35s and before serious trails.....My first concern is the driveshaft though......i need to get that worked out cause we are plannin on going to Big Bear this weekend...

 

I installed this lift a few weeks ago with 35's and it has been perfect, I will look out for this though.

 

Quickest and easiest way to fix this is to ditch the tranny skid. This is what most lift companies recomend.
