This has nothing to do with 'I only drive onroad' or 'I want it to perform great offroad', it has to do with the simple geometry or physics or rocket surgery or whatever. As you lift, the axles (pinions) tilt up, which lowers the caster, which causes progressively flightier steering. At 2", many (most?) will say you won't need to worry about it. Personal preference. 'You' (your wife) may notice the difference and want to correct it. Both axles shift to one side. Again, the higher you go, the further they shift. 2", many people don't worry about it. You? No clue. Deathwobble - go up to the Writeups area. Stuck right to the top is a great diagnosis thread. Read through it, and you might see that it is not the specific lift you put on that causes it. And it is not because you went 3 or 4 inches instead of 2. It is installer error, not tightening/torquing properly, worn components, etc. Not because you chose lift height A as opposed to lift height B.
