Default steering wows

i just did a few upgrades to the jeep. i put on some 37s and new gears. i know that the gears have nothing to do with the steering wows. but anyway the only thing that i have done to my steering is add a daul steering stabilizer. i know they are a band-aid for a real fix. i would like to get the jeep to handle a little better on the road. not to sure on what i would need to re-place or upgrade to make this happen. so lets hear what you guys have to say and thanks for the help.

What is you caster angle set at (5-7 degrees seems to give the best handling)? What tire air pressure are you running (28-30 will smooth out the ride)?

Try this:

To improve steering, and handling, upgrade your steering components.

A HD Rock Krawler tie rod helped my steering. The stock one just seems to flex too much with the larger tires.

I was just looking at the currie set up and that thing is sick!!!! but i cant lie i havnt heard any reviews on it. Personally i have always been a fan of rock krawler and there HD steering is amazing and have heard nothing but great things. just if you go the RK route make sure to tae the time and do your home work on what TRE to use. I am in favor of MOOG personally and dont care much for the mopar ones, just personal preferance.

The currie tie rod is Beefy!

Also it can be adjusted while on the jeep and it comes with ends.
