I just had 5.13's installed on my Rubicon Unlimited and I am about 80 miles into my break in process (20 miles per trip). I decided today to put it in 4WD Hi just to test it out and I immediately noticed that something was wrong. It pulls hard to the right and it doesn't "feel" like it used to. It feels like the Jeep is almost pushing back where it used to feel almost as smooth as 2WD. After about 10 seconds I put it back in 2WD and it took quite some time for the 4WD to disengage. I had to drive it around a bit.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm going to head into the shop that did the work to let them know what's going on.

Thanks!!

 

Good thing you checked before hitting the trail.

 

My fault! She drives as straight as she can on the pavement. This is what happens when a newbie like myself installs larger tires and lower gears.

Pavement + Larger Tires + New Gear = Different Ride than Stock
