Update! lots of things have changed. i built my own control arms for my 5 inch lift a while back and ive had death wobble ever since. i kept putting dampeners and temporary fixes over it and i was sick of it coming back to haunt me everytime i changed anything. even the slightest change in tire preasure and death wobble would turn on like a switch. so i had had enough and i decided to buy new adj. control arms and be done with it. but i figured if im gonna buy control arms, i might as well go all out and get long arms. so i went for the RC LA kit. really impresssed with the build quality anf flex! i also finished my sliders. got rearended by my auto shop teacher, so i had to replace my rearbumper and tirerack. and some new floor mats, and kc light covers. my jeep is set! i wanna take it to do some wheeling soon! hopefully when school gets out ill get to do some real wheeling!

Or did your ride quality not get the bad with the skyjacker lift?
