I installed a Rough Country 2.5" coil lift and a PA 1" body lift a couple of weeks ago. I also installed a set of 35" mud terrains on 17" rims. Ever since installing everything my steering feels weird while I am turning. It feels just fine as long as I am going straight, but as soon as I turn the wheel any more than half a turn it starts acting up. It feels like I am driving around with the four-wheel drive on, but it is definitely not engaged. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

did you straighten your wheel after you did the lift?.
did you get an alignment after the lift ?

it sounds like your traction control is kicking in. thats what happened to me once i straightened out the wheel though it was fine after that no problems at all.

there is a write up on here on how to straighten the wheel out. it's simple

hope this give you some help

 

Could it be not enough backspacing and he's getting some tire rub?

 

yes i missed that one that is very possible i would check that too

 

I am betting tire rub. Pretty close to the same feel he is talking about.

 

yea i bet you are right after thinking about it for a few minutes when my TC was going off cause my wheel was not straight the jeep was driving like CRAP i think you would know if it was that plus the light would come on.

 

I have not straightened my steering wheel yet, but the TC light does not come on. My tires are not rubbing either, thats the first thing I checked.

 

Straighten the wheel.

 

Yeah, I will go ahead and take care of that tonight. I've just been too lazy to do it. Hopefully that takes care of it!!

 

X2 if the tires are not rubbing it's prob the wheel straighten that puppy our and post back the results
