Curious if any progress made or found the issue yet?

I've been running 30 psi. Dropped it down to 27 and seems to handle a little better. I don't have adjustable CAs but I think that is going to be my next purchase

That's good news. Did u have a chance to check your front sway bar? Did u get new front sway bar links? I can't imagine netting 3 to 3.5 inches of lift and having the stock sway bar links. Seems to me it
Not be sitting at the correct angle.

That's a good point. I checked the bushes and everything looks good although I am still using stock. I'lllook into picking some new ones up.

Default Noticed similar issues recently...

I've noticed that the steering has become flighty on our 2-dr 07 since installing 315/75-16 tires. We upgraded from 285/75-16's. Have the same lift kit (OME with the HD 4-dr springs), which has been on for about 2.5 years. I installed longer sway bar links on the rear and used the OEM rears on the front. Also have adjustable TRAC bars front and rear (bushings are good). I've heard that a lot of the flighty steering can be resolved by correcting the caster of the axle with adjustable front upper control arms. Anyone know what the ideal length is when installing adjutables on a 3.5-4" lift?

Thanks,
David

I have the same lift. The ride is much better but I did notice the jeep felt slightly more top heavy.. I installed front lower arms and added some caster...there was a night and day difference before and after the control arms..

Crazy indeed. It pushed me away and towards 18/59 coils and rubi shocks for my 2dr sport.
