jeep airplane!
hmm, ok so i have a 2011 2 door sahara, i purchased this about 3-4months ago and it already had the following installed, rubi take off suspension front and rear "looks to be about" 2.5 coil spacer with shock extenders, any hoot ive noticed that my sway bar isnt in correct position, "front and rear" they are kind of pointed down some so i purchased the jks adj links for rear and replaced my rear with those. havent done my fron yet im gonna use my stock rears for front. when i replaced my rear i also put my 1.5 spidertrax wheel spacers on there "running 295/70/17 nittor trails on stock rims" when i was on interstate yesterday doing about 70 mph i switched lanes and thought me jeep was gonna roll over!!!! so its being super duper flighty!! is that because i havent corrected the front sway links yet? very sketchy top heavy feeling on the interstate!

A few things, some of which are relative to a few factors. Considering it may be about 2.5" lift, the geometry correction (although not necessary) would add to the flighty feel. As for the sway bar links, the more parallel to the ground, the better, but I've seen 2.5" with stock links, and it was fine. The last consideration? How fast were you driving, how quickly did you try to change lanes, road off camber, etc.???

When you lifted the jeep from stock you decrease caster causing a wandering feeling. The only way to correct caster is by upper or lower control arm that are adjustable. Your sway bar should be parallel to the ground. Also you are higher than stock and have taller tires, so its not going to be that great if you have to make sudden lane changes. More caster makes it track straighter
