Default TF leveling kit
Soo, a few weeks ago I installed the TF Leveling kit and was pleased with the results. Lately, it's been snowing here in NE and have noticed something either rubbing or catching when the 4wheel drive is engaged. I feel the issue towards the front of the jeep so I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. Again, the turning radius is only effected when 4wheel is engaged...any ideas?

I think you're just feeling the effects of trying to turn while in 4WD.. You'll feel the "jerky" sensation of your front tires trying to push you forward while one tire has to cover more ground.. totally normal.
