I have a 2007 Wrangler X 2 Dr. 3.5 inch standard skyjacker lift with 32 inch open country all terrain tires- with 16x8 black rock rims. My jeep rides extremely rough when i hit just a small bump the steering is flighty and swerves. I dont know what to do. I mean I have a front and rear relocation bracket and sky jacker steering stabilizer. Even on the highway at 75 mph every time i get off on the ramp my wheel shakes uncontrollably.

-I am running 30 psi should i go lower?
-Should i looking into getting control arms- if so lower or upper?
-Should i get a lift upgrade like this -

It is really frustrating me i have taken it to all kinds of places and everyone says my jeep is fine- but i know there must be something i can do.

Thank you in advanced

When you say it rides rough, are you comparing it to stock?
Did you have the toe adjusted after the lift?
Does your JK drive straight when you are on level ground, no bumps?

30 psi should be about right for what you have. There have been some who, after a lift, have found the ride more stable when running larger than stock tires vs. the stock 32" ones. I had a similar experience the day a put the stock size back on for inspection.

If you are going for control arms, I would begin with front uppers to adjust your pinion angle and make it more negative. This will help with steering precision but may not stop the shacking.

many guys complain about the skyjacker shocks. You may want to try swapping your stockers back on and see if it helps. if so, get some better shocks. If not, then keep looking. Skyjacker springs are usually pretty soft.

The nitros are stiff but that should not make your steering flighty.

If you drag link and track bar are not at the same angle, you are going to experience bump steer.

You should also check the tightness of the bolts on the track bar and where the brackets mount to the frame.

I'm not too sure about the toe in thing. But no when i let go of the wheel it does not drive straight it drives right or left within about 4 seconds.

Yes i was comparing it to the stock ride, I'm just tired of the damn bump steer and am just looking about how i can get rid of it...

and what are the best hydro shocks for a decent price?

I would get it to drive straight before searching for new shocks.

Different shocks would be good, but it’s not your major problem.

Make sure your axles are centered both front and rear. You may need adjustable trac bars if they are not.

The toe is determined by the tie rod in the front, did you put the lift on? Have you had it on an alignment machine since?
