Default Need help

Hello everybody I'm new to the forum and new to the jeep community. I recently installed a 3" lift on my 4dr jk I'm currently riding on 34.25 pro comp tires with stock 17x7 wheels it rides like shit tires are MT and need to be replaced I put a dual steering stabilizer front adjustable track bar and rear track bar relocator when I drive it pretty much wounders off and bumps pull it to the side. I'm upgrading the wheels and tires I'm going with 17x9 method wheels and would really like to put 37's tires but afraid of Rubbing any recommendations please help!

There is a thread by Dirtman in the modded JK stickies: "My thoughts on lifts". Recommend study it.

As for Jeep wandering, what have you done to correct caster? A lot of lifts are sold with nothing to address this, which cause a "like driving on ice" feeling. Dual stabilizers won't help. In fact, your properly aligned and built Jeep will drive just fine with NO steering stabilizer. If yours doesn't, fix that first.

Dirtman's post. Caster. You'll be good to go.

EDIT: Thanks mds22 for pointing out below that I meant to write caster above, so corrected it to avoid confusion.

OP- i think he is talking about "Caster" not "camber". Just to clear it up.
I'm hesitant to say anything to someone who has forgotten more than I know, but just so the OP doesn't get confused

Oops, you're right. Brain fart. I'm going to edit the prior post to avoid confusion.
