How does your Jeep handle after 4" of lift?

Just wanted to say your not the only one. I got the same lift and my steering is flighty and if the road is tilted I have to fight it to keep it straight. I think I'm gun a take it to a shop and if I can't figure it out I'm just gun a put the stock springs back on.

I too have the 4 inch and cannot figure out why my steering is so flighty and getting bump steer. I.replaced the bolts. This has been going on for about 6 months now.. I think I have narrowed it down to.the rod end joint on the adjustable trackbar. And first it was very solid... after time I have developed some movement in the joint. I'm going to look at my options and either upgrade the trackbar or replace the rod end.

Here's one for keeping things simple....
This is ALL I have under my Jeep (see link below) for a 4.5" lift. Stock control arms, no cam bolts, stock drive shafts. The only thing I added to it was a rear adjustable track bar to center the axles. No bump steer, no flightiness, drives straight and handles very well. Probably in the next year or so I'll be getting a new Coast 1310 front drive shaft because the middle expansion (spline) boot is torn a bit, but that's about it.
