Scooting/ thursting motion
Hey all i have a question. I can drive my jeep just fine on the road with no wobble at all but when I go over 65 into even a slight turn I get this weird scooting or kind of a motion like my axles are thrusting forward and backward. If I slow below 65 it's fine though. Any ideas. I'm running a 6.5 inch long arm lift and mt 33s

So you wobble at 65mph, but not at any other speeds? That's the only assumption I can piece together because I don't know what you mean by "scooting" and you did say you don't wobble on the road, but when you reach 65mph...
If it's a wobble at 65mph, I had the exact same issue at that speed. I replaced my track bar and pitman arm because they had worn-out joints. No wobble anymore. I would recommend checking your steering components.
If you didn't mean wobble, explain what you mean by scooting.

umm.... if the speed limit is 65 on the highway.... shouldn't you be doing about 65? Why would you slow down? to disrupt traffic?
Anyway, did you move the control arms forward or get adjustables? sounds like your geometry is off.
