Side to side body roll
My 09 JKU rolls back and forth to the sides imo excessively. I can be driving down a straight road, hit a bump or two and she rolls to the left and right. I figured it was the shocks so I replaced them, not as bad but still too much I think. Ive checked the anti sway/roll bars and they are all connected and look fine. I am running 35lbs in the tires. The tires are old and need replacing, could the tires cause this? Thanks.

Not on my Rubicon, but when I replaced the old OEM tires on my F-150 with my used OEM Rubicon BFG MT's the side to side decreased significantly.
I have new BFG MT KM2's on my Rubicon. There's still some side to side, I think that's inherent. But your old tires could be contributing to it.

Body roll is usually caused by worn shocks or shocks not heavy enough, Disconnected or broken swaybar links or soft tires. But since you have 35psi in the tires and it tracks properly I can't see it being the tires.
