Thanks to you all for the valuable info. I am going to post later about a clearance issue I think I may have on my back tire where the rock rail sits. It looks to me like it could be a bad deal when I take my rig off road.

You can also try balancing tires again, the bigger tires sometimes need balancing a few times. This is cheaper to try first than buying all new adjustable parts IMO.

Hey y'all. I have a 2013 Rubicon Unlimited 10th Anniversary that just had a 4" Pro Comp lift installed along with 20" Rockstar II wheels and 35" Nitto tires. See attached photo. We are getting a lot of "road wobble" now that the lit has been installed. Feels like the wind is blowing me around even if there is no wind. Any suggestions on what would fix this would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to get adjustable control arms, please check in here first before taking a shops recommendation. I'm guessing a shop recommended the pro comp lift, and you don't want to be screwed twice. In fact, you might want to consider another shop.
Let's just say, I fell for the shop advice when I first bought my jeep, and have had to upgrade just about everything. Luckily, I was too smart to get 20's (kidding).

His words may have been a little harsh, but pretty spot on. Most people on this forum are in JKs to hit the trails, I'm not sure if you are or not ( not a jab, I really haven't asked you your intended purpose or vehicle use). That being said, not many on here run pro comp.

What's important is that you're here, your feet are wet and you've got a great starting point. As you progress you will find yourself replacing a lot of that lift. And you may one day even "upgrade" back to 17" wheels

Truth is this is our 1st jeep. The wife drives it more than I do. It is her daily driver. Not likely it will see the trails anytime soon. I had to buy her a creeper to get under it when she cleans if that tells you anything. I took the recommendation of the shop on the lift. Was told the pro mop was a middle of the road lift somewhere between rough country and aev. Is there a particular aftermarket manufacture I should stay with when doing future up grades? I don't get offended easily. Truth is I just want our jeep to be a head turner as she is traveling down the road.

Then the shop probably hit the nail on the head with what you're looking for. Everyone has their brand preferences (to a nauseating degree). I've pieced my lift together from ARB, Currie, JKS, Synergy etc. it all really depends on your budget and goal. If you want a head turner that doesn't need to conquer trails that's totally fine and you're on a good track.
