Quick update....replaced LCA's with an adjustable set from RC, adjusted to 1/2 inch longer than stock, and it helped a little. Returned to the alignment shop and had them check the alignment and long story short, I will not let them touch my Jeep again. Kid lied and told me it did not need...

Of all the jeeps I've owned this is the first (and last) one that was lifted by someone else prior to me buying it. My last xj I built was on 33s with about 4 inches of lift and was steadier than the new gladiator I test drove last year. Couple guys at work are running similar setups to mine on...

It drove great when I bought it earlier this year so when things started escalating control arms were the last thing on the list. Even swapped wheels and tires for a few days to see if it was an issue with them.

No slop in the steering wheel surprisingly. Broke down and ordered adjustable lower control arms earlier tonight.

That's why my yj is stock suspension lol....unfortunately the jk came with the lift

And as far as tires go you are right on the money. My yj has narrow 31s and drives straight as an arrow with zero bad habits....the 33s on my old truck made you earn it

I don't remember off hand but it could have been better. Drove fine before I tightened up the front end with new parts. Looking at LCA's still trying to convince myself to spend more money in hopes that it fixes the issue lol....wife wants to put "money pit" on the hood already

Aired down further and same results. Found my old gopro and going to mount it under the jeep to see what's going on while driving once it charges up. The old YJ is probably going to be getting more road time until this thing gets figured out

Sounds like where I'm currently at myself. 2010 sport with same lift. I've replaced just about everything in the front end and had it aligned....progressively getting worse. Lift is only 4 and a half months old

I was going to air down more today and try it again.....as far as the axle it appears centered and no side to side movement at the track bar when wheels are turned back and forth. Steering wheel is straight too

Sweet spot was 32 to 35 psi on the chalk test.( Grand daughter enjoyed "coloring" my tires for me) This thing is driving me nuts at this point and hitting me in the wallet worse than the YJ ever thought about.

After owning my 92 YJ for awhile we decided to pick up a 2010 JKU sport for my daily back in May. Life was good. Had a new 2.5 RC lift on it and new wheels with 33s. Drove great for the first few months, no bad habits and highway driving was fine. After a short wheeling adventure it was still...
