Lol I would love to keep my jeep on trails or even better on sand is so much fun I guess I like going fast rock crawling looks like fun but I like a little more speed 
nothing like having your end kick out on a gravel road or sand.
And I'm to lazy to remove the ATS to see if I won't miss it I know steering wheel doesn't wonder any longer after I installed it or having to correct steering every second on highway speeds.

If your steering improved after replacing only the SS with no other change, I'd check the front. In case the SS hides something, the problem will grow before it's noticed.
Most of the need for steering corrections comes from the live rear axle, which moves to the left/right with every up/down movement, which throws the Jeep a bit off the line. Replacing the track bar with Full Traction CRC Link solved it for me. The constant small steering corrections are gone.
It still doesn't have the directional stability of a car, because of other 'Jeep factors', but the improvement is substantial.

I pulled my trailer back to Texas from Moab yesterday. Kept it an average of 75-80 mph with no problems. The only time she got crazy was when I hit a dust devil. I swear it felt like her top & hood were about to launch into outer space.

So I was about a mile from my exit home the other day with no cars ahead and I decided to floor my 3.6, and the jk got on it, past 100 mph, it seemed like it could have kept going but I got scared and slowed down after 102 mph, anyone else tested their limit? Sent from my Apple using iPhone.
But I also have v8 Hemi

For fuel economy sake I try not to go above 65 mph. I think the fastest I have had it was 80ish. I'm in my forties and don't care about getting anywhere really fast. It is now just about enjoying the drive and taking in the scenery. Especially with the doors off.

Was entering my highway and a big chromed up hummer driver decided to be an a-hole & wouldn't let me merge so as I sped up so did he. Eventually I hit 95 almost 100 with 35s & stock gears. I put quite a lead on him after that. This was also in a 55mph zone. But no other cars were around it was just him & me.
