Thumbs up First time post, Give it to me easy!!!

I recently lifted my 2008 4dr unlimited auto, 3.73s with a re3.5 super flex and 33s. When I'm turning to the right it feels like something is hanging up, not every time but when it does it's between 25 and 40. Any ideas on where to start

if you lifted your rig and have stock wheel on there with 33's, the when you are turning the inside of the tire is catching the sway bar edge and rubbing. i had the same issue before. either get you some wheel spacers to move your wheels to a wider stance or get new wheels with more back spacing on them. hope that helps ya

Depending on the width of your tires, you might want to try the steering stop fix,
Much cheaper than spacers or new wheels.

Specs on total mods would be good, stock rims?, spacers? Hard to make assesment without knowing. As other have stated if you don't have wheel spacers and or correctly backspaced rims, this could be a prob. But you you also be able to notice this when turning slowly at a slow speed if it's "hanging up" or rubbing.
