Have Jeep on 35’s.. drives good but every now and then if hit bump or hump in road it jerks right.. would steering stabilizer upgrade help this or is this just how jeeps are? I’m newb to Jeep life.. thanks in advance for any advice

Let's start with some background info before throwing new parts at it.

Alignment specs? Tire psi? Lift height? If over 3" or so, is there a draglink flip?

Is your steering components good shape? A little bit of weapon tie rod ends, steering dragline and crossbars can cause lots of trouble

Proper steering geometry. Post up what kind of mods and lift you have.

Here lies part of problem Jeep was already upgraded to 35’s before I bought from dealership. Not sure if it has lift or not.

It's as simple as the first 3 words in Dirtman's response.

You likely have some lift, no caster correction, and are experiencing a little bump steer. Time to start figuring out what you're working with, which by the way is always the pain in the ass when you buy something that has already been modified. Start here with some measurements -




Take pictures of your front end, springs, ear end, and control arms and post em up. We can help identify some things.

The colorful pic at the top of this thread is a good reference. (not a bad idea to read the rest of it just for background, if nothing else)

Then take some pics of the suspension, steering, ca's, etc and post them, we'll figure out what you have. You could also make a few calls, some alignment shops will throw it on the rack and print the 'before' specs for free, post those.
