For those of you that are running 35" tires. Did you immediately adjust you Toe-in? If not has there been any problems when driving your JK (i.e. wandering, shimmy or Death wobble).....I know the adjustment is easy to do and only takes a few minutes, but I just wanted to get a general consensus. Thanks..

the faq was made way back when this forum was first started and was based on what most of us did back in the TJ days. after a few years of working on JK's, i can tell you that no additional toe-in adjustment is necessary after installing 35" tires.

You most likely wont need to do anything as WOL said, but it wouldnt hurt to take measurements before and after, especially if you are lifting at the same time. I have mine set to 1/16" toe-in, and its perfect.

yes, some do but it is not the right thing to do. jeeps are rear wheel driven vehicles and toe-in the the appropriate toe adjustment that needs to be made. you only toe-out on front wheel drive vehicles. people who toe-out typically do so in an effort to fix suspension issues like death wobble but, it is far from a fix as all it does is mask whatever the real problem is.

caster
may want to check your caster after doing all your mods. from experience, that will make your rig wander all over the road more than anything - especially if you have negative caster and uneven roads!

Will do....I purchased the TF front control arms with the lift, but opted not to install them just yet. So far my JK unlimited drives fine & doesnt feel flighty....Once I get the 35s and give them a test drive I will then install the CAs...Thanks...

If you like the way it drives after you put the 35's on, dont change anything else until you need to. I spent a good 6 weeks trying to dial my suspension in after the lift. Although my problem was that I added axles, LCA's, tires, and a lift all at the same time. I didnt know that the balljoints on the newish axles were shot, so I had a helluva time trying to get it right until I figured out they were shot...
