That might even be dangerous. My 33's are riding nice at about 29psi.

I have 28psi in my 33's.

I have a vibration from 40 to just under 50, not super bad, wheel moves maybe a quarter inch each way tops, but the wobble itself is kind of annoying. Abruptly starts at 40, goes away nearly as abruptly around 48-49.

i played around and chalk tested mine at the mall *L*

no, really, i did. I hate shoppping, so when i went to pick up part of the estrogen horde, i was testing different PSI's in the parking lot.

best time i ever had at the damn mall.

I had the same problem after my lift. I got the Superlift Steering Stabilizer and it did help a bit, but not perfectly. You need to get adjustable control arms to fit it completely. Also, if your JK pulls into ruts, the control arms will fix that as well.
