Default 2.5" Lift Question...Flighty on Road Question Plus..............

Thank you for your help.......
2010 2 door Rubicon....2.5 Teraflex coil lift, Teraflex front track bar, 35" BFG muds km2 at 30psi.
I am aware that I need front lower control arm's but I do not know if that will fix 50% or 60 or 70 or ? of the problem.
I was wondering if there was any thing else that I needed? Like the cross over steering mod by Evo. Where does that help at or in?
Will just the lower control arms fix the fiighty feeling close to 100% or there abouts? thanks again.

I put front lower control arms on my 4dr with the 2.5 tf kit and it completly solved the flightyness feeling. As far as the evo flip, it is for lifts higher then 3in. I now have the 4in. tf kit and the evo flip and it is awsome.

yep, get your adj. lower control arms and get them dialed in. You will have night/ day handling difference from where you're at now. I had a 2010 witha 2.5 terra coil lift and was way too flightly for my taste on the hwy. Add the adjustable front lower arms and handled way better IMHO. your alignment can cause some of that too as well as tire preassure.

I had a TF dealer suggest that I do lower arms front and rear with this kit to get the best overall performance on-road. Haven't doe a lift yet, but an considering this option.

Front LCAs will fix 100% of the problem on the road.
