Im having an odd occurance....

I have been running 35" tires for about 20,000 miles.....

now im running stock tires on the same setup.... immediately after installing them, when I hit bumps at highway speeds, the front end of the JK shakes pretty bad, but the odd part, not the steering wheel, just the JK itself...

does it make sense if the OME stabilizer could providing too much dampening for the relatively light stock tires? (rather than the stabilizer moving (absorbing) the bumps, it stays still.. putting the bumps onto the body of the JK and not into the steering wheel)

Im thinking of removing it and seeing what happens...

the only reason Im running the stockers is for fuel economy, Im taking the JK on a 3,200 mile drive and am trying to save $..

(also, I tried the stock wheels in every position to see if it was a balancing issue)(I dont think it is because it shakes just the same and there is no noticable vibration at any speed)
I also check all of my suspension nuts/bolts, everything is torqued properly.

When you were running your 35s did you adjust your toe-in? If so maybe changing it back to stock specs may help. Others will be chiming in soon
