Question Pulled into Ruts..... oh nuts!

With my bigger tires, the JK seems to get pulled into ruts on the road. In my YJ, I had the same problem and installed a shackle reversal kit. That solved the problem. What can I do to fix it in the JK? Adjustable track bar?

It is a necessary evil of a wider tire....maybe double check the castor angle which would helps it want to center.

Any way to do this without adjustable control arms?

there is a cam bolt on the axle side of the lowers to adjust it. If you've wheeled it alignment can get tweeked. On my older wheelers the steerign wheel was in a different place after each rubicon trip.

No Cam Bolts on the JK,..need to order them & knock tabs out of the LCA to install them /adjust for caster..
