No, it's not the traction control. I found out what that felt like when I was wheelin in NM with Maertz.

I used to get similar problems. But an alignment fixed it for me. Is yours a Rubicon? Iv heard a truetrac in the front can make it do some funny things occasionally

Stay muddy my friends

Question about the 6 packs. On the website it says that they are adjustable by the end user 150-160 psi how much does this change the ride? I was in an accident recently and im finding the ARBs really rough on my back. I like the stiffness for hard driving but lately I cant bring myself to get in the jeep. Really dont want to have to spend money on ranchos for adjustability and softness without gaining offroadability too

The PSI doesn't change ride quality. That is really the needed operating range. They're not like air shocks or coilovers. MetalCloak can custom valve them for you though (but they talked me out of it).

I have them and run them on a mid-weight 2 door. Honestly, I wish the rear were softer. My dad runs the same game changer lift with the ARB shocks and his rides much nicer (same weight 2 door). Guys with the 4 doors I've talked to seem to like the 6paks and the ride.

I'll sell you mine for a good deal. They're only a couple months old and the new internal design.

thanks for the info. Not sure what im gonna do. My 4 door is on the lighter side for sure. I dont roll around with all my gear. It is defenitely softer with weight. Maybe ill just load it up for now.
Wanna trade my arbs for your 6 paks :p

I dont belive so. They dont believe in the high steer. IF you do go that route you need a trackbar bracket and synergy drag link. Im running this setup with hydro assist and love the feel
