Default Back end sliding

I have a 2" OME lift and 33's. Anytime I hit dirt or gravel it feels like the ass end is trying to come around. Even though I'm driving straight it feels like the Jeep isn't. Hope that made sense.

Any ideas??

Air down and welcome to the world of jeep. Short of switching to a coil over suspension, airing down is the only cure.

airing down on will help. it's just the tires are slipping.

i was going to say, if you feel this on pavement it's called "Crabbing" and it's when your front and rear axles are not centered under your jeep. you will need adjustable trackbars to correct this.

Thanks guys! And it never happens on pavement so I'll air down next time.
