have you guys ever heard of the steering stabilizer over dampening? Im currently running the stock 32" sahara wheels on my JK whats using the OME stabilizer.. Im having the reverse of DW.. when I hit the bumps on the highway, instead of my steering wheel shaking, the front of the JK does..... weird.. Im going to pull the stabilizer tomorrow and see what happens...

So the front of the Jeep moves from side to side and NOT the steering wheel?

Are you still running the AEV lift with the 32s? Though, I don't see how the suspension setup will run differently with a smaller sized tire. Why are you running your Saharas with the AEV lift?

yea, the jeep moves side to side, and the steering wheel stays calm..

Yes AEV lift with 32" tires.

running them because Im taking a road trip (3,200 miles) and trying to save fuel and the MT/R's.

its weird really... my GF's dad (Jeep tech) was at first looking at me like then he said well maybe the steering stabilizer is too strong for the light/small tires.
then he went off about 2500 rams using 3500 diesel tie rods and stabilizers that solved one issue and started another issue similar to my issue lol and they swapped the tires from the 3500 onto the 2500 and it solved it.......
Who knows... im just thinking out loud.. I want to run these tires for the trip.




Im going to pull the stabilizer tomorrow and see what happens....

joe i have a stock stabilizer its banged up and leaking lol but it will prob work with stock tires if you want it.

maybe your jeep just feels so much less stable because of the tires being pratically under the jeep? Ive never heard of a ss overdampening that is very wierd, i would think that its something else

dimitri you going back to stock flares?

They NEVER do anything right. I cant even describe how much I hate the stealerships. Im hesitant to take my jeep in for the J30 recall cuz they will mess something else up
