Default Lift completed

I finished my Teraflex 2.5" BB lift last weekend. Also put on the Spidertrac 1.5" spacers behind my stock 18" Sahara wheels a nd tires. I like the lift but now the steering is really flighty, much more than before the spacers. Have the spacers extended my wheels out to the point that the bumps in the road are felt much more? Even to the point that the steering jerks some on larger depressions and bumps.

If your steering is flighty after a lift, then you can put adjustable control arms on the front to adjust your caster. That should correct the problem.

JK consensus seems to be front, lower control arms, BTW. This is on my "to do" list for the same reason.
