so i have wat could be a dumb question, but im new to jeeps and lifts. when i drive on pavement and hit puddles on the side of the road my jeep pulls pretty bad, and snow wasnt the easiest obstacle either, just wondering why this is and how to correct it. thanks in advance for any help here. oh an i cant say exactly what mods i have since they were done pre me buying it. if i had to guess i would say it has a about a 3" lift 33" tires maybe bigger havent looked to hard, and pro comp 17x8" wheels.

 

Not much that you can do for the pulling. When you hit a puddel with only half of the jeep those wheels slow down witch causes the pull. In fact the only way would be to go to a narrower tire, Its the same as with snow. Go slower or get all the wheels in it.

 

Alot more surface area when driving thru a puddle. Like a rock skipping across water. It can make for some white knuckle driving. Just slow it down and watch for the deeper puddles.

 

just checking since the pull is a lot more intense than my 4runner but i guess the weight difference doesnt help to much

 

If you are lifted, you may have lost some caster, too. Less caster means less ability for the wheels to self straighten.

 

X2, it is normal for a vehicle with wide tires to pull when hitting a puddle, like if you hit a pretty good puddle with the right side tires, it will pull to the right

 

i feel like your responding to a moron with these answers, thanks either way cus like i said it could be a dumb question. i just didnt know if any of the mods were making it worse and if there was anything i could put on to help. but thanks again for the input atleast i know its just how the jeeps are. first jeep so i was curious

 

mine does very well in puddles with my KM2s, big open lugs. It has to be fairly to make me notice it.

 

The faster to hit the puddles, the worse the pull. Also our drag link suspensions tends to exaggerate road conditions...

 

The width of the tires are definitely a factor.
