The factory ball joints will loosen up and you will then feel the steering wheel play.
I have the twin to your jeep. Awesome man!

I have the Synergy drag link kit with relocation and Synergy ball joints. My ball joints went bad from wheeling with 35's. The drag link kit completely got rid of the bump steer. I'm on 4" of lift.

I agree that either the RAM assist or Hydro would be things you'll eventually want to do. Just make sure you only try to steer while moving and don't try to crank the wheel harder if you get resistance.

You probably wouldn't feel much of a difference unless they've gone bad. The OEM ball joints can wear out pretty easily with 35's. 37's and you might as well just get them done to avoid having the OEM go bad. Bad ball joints can contribute to death wobble.
