Default Rough ride Fix 2012 JKU

Here is what I did on my 2012 JKU (2 1/2 inch suspension and 1 inch body lift) to fix the rough ride, bump steer, and death wobble riding on 35x12.5x20 inch Kanati Mud Hogs:

* Quality road force balance tires at Discount Tire
* Quality alignment
* Tighten to torque specs all suspension and steering components

* Changed out shocks to adjustable Rancho 9000 shocks
* Added a Griffin Steering Attenuator
* Added a Rough Country Dual Steering Stablizer

The top 3 eliminated the DW and the bottom 3 made for a much smoother ride overall.

I wish some one would have provided the above advice to me when I first bought my used Jeep.

Welcome to the forum

You could have read the first three on your list 100 times over on almost any jeep forum, including this one.

Do you wheel your jeep?

You may find that RC dual stabilizer is in harms way.

Yes but too many are obscure.... I tried this... I tried that... nothing straight to the point.

I do wheel and have not had the issue you refer to.
