[QUOTE="mavric11, post: 459887, member: 25338"] Good afternoon! New owner 2013 Rubicon and new to this forum! (lot's to learn) I've put only about 5,000 miles on the JK. On test drive, I didn't take it up to highway speeds....after buying it I realized it was a both hands on the wheel experience above 70mph. I've been chasing the issue ever since...new set of Toyo 35" tires, new falcon shocks, Here's the specs and the symptoms: 2013 Rubicon 80,000 miles with 4" Rough Country Lift Kit (not sure on the actual lift kit - 41" from ground to bottom edge of the front fender) Newer Toyo OpenCountry tires with less then 2k miles, newer Falcon shocks with less than 5k. It's been on a rack twice to ensure everything is tight. Current tire pressure is 28 psi (I've experimented with a range). The alignment was done with the tires. Symptoms: This Jeep wanders quite a bit, the faster it goes, the more it wants to move around. At 30mph in the neighborhood on level/smooth roads, I can feel a slight sway in the rear end. It's not my daily driver and my first Jeep but I can't imagine this is normal behavior - even for a lifted JK. It was close to dangerous when I first got it.....its gets a little better with each upgrade but its definitely still there. Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
