I got my 35s on and I'm running about 4.5" of lift. I have a JKS trackbar now that was on the Jeep when I got it. I have adjustable UCAs and LCAs. My steering looks to be stock. I thought I might have a tire out of balance because it have a pretty good vibration around 50-65 mph that seems to smooth out over 70. However, someone stopped me and said it looks like my left front wheel is wobbling. So I looked out the window while driving and I can see the wheel wobble sporadically at under 50 and with rhythm over 50mph. I guess I have the death wobble. So clearly, I have to spend some more money.
I have my B.Lee 3 link ready to install but I may wait until I could do some frame stiffening since I'm now hearing that the holes in his crossmember don't line up with existing holes in the frame. Anyway, it seems like I'm going to have to deal with my steering issues before I should mess with that. The stock steering seems a little puny but I wonder if the root of my wobble is just my trackbar. I don't think I can afford to buy everything at once so I'd like to solve the wobble with whatever is necessary to hold me over until I can get to everything else, i.e. 1 Ton OKN steering. But if the OTK steering would solve my problem then I could just go ahead and do that. Surprisingly, good trackbars and mounts cost nearly as much as whole steering setups but I'm afraid I need both.
As far as parts go, I like Serious' or Ruffstuff's steering kits and Liquid Iron's trackbar. Any advise is very welcome.
I haven't updated in a long time. I have done a lot to my Jeep which inherently means I have a lot more to do. I wish I'd been updating this thread along the way but here's my jeep in a creek bed u-turn. It's working pretty well. I need to get my bump stops set up and I'm starting to build bumpers.
