Steerring Sensitive after OME Lift

[jkranger]

Installed the Northridge, OME 3in lift. Dialed it in with the front and rear Adjustable trackbars. the steering seems real sensitive. I feel the road alot more and everbump is felt in the steering wheel. It just seemed like the road vibration was obsorbed more before and now I feel it more.
Is this a pitman arm thing? or possibly due to caster angle and maybe some lower Adj control arms are needed?

Same tires? After I lifted I had a few days with my old tires, so I really got to notice that when I put the taller wider tires on, I felt alot more of the road.

What track bar are u running up front? I had the same kit before and I found the 1st and 2nd generation jks track bars to be too flexy for me. Switched to rock krawler track bar and drag link and it made a huge difference.

I felt the same thing when I installed my TF 2.5 coil lift. After I installed the TF front lower control arms, my jeep handled like it was stock. I'm guessing your castor is off.

I debated what to put on mine and ended up withthe terraf lex monster track bad and the terraflex adjustable control arms I got probably 4 solid inches of lift form the sagged position of my previous spring see photos, and have no issues sO I would gues it is either caster or hell I dunno may the control bar is too weak?

Flighty handling is generally Caster. (Cams, new fixed arms, adj arms, brackets)
Bumpsteer is generally steering angles. (flip kit or bracket/pitman)

But from your description: Did you add some new, bigger, and very over-inflated tires at the same time?

With larger tires, you will feel more bump steer.

If you're finding it "more sensitive" it's probably a caster issue. Did you put a pair of adjustable front control arms on when you did the lift? If not, that may be your solution.

did the lift and ran on my stock BFG's for a while. Noticed some of the road sensitivity. Then installed some 315"s (35s) from treadwright. i would sumize that the rubber in a retread is a little stiffer. These are mud tires so not a radial. I have the JKS adj front and rear trackbars. they seem very solid and got them dialed in. No adj control arms so I am getting closer to determining that my caster is off. going to do some front adj control arms to try and get the ride back to stock.
