Just to clarify, On some vehicles, changing the shocks or struts does require an alignment. But not on your JK.

 

Why not? If they have more pressure or are replacing wrong parts wouldn't they left the vehicle up a bit, meaning the body from the axle?

 

Was just curious, why all the steering mods , LCA's, trackbars,tierods and steering box? you hard on things or what.

 

Had a lot of issues after getting death wobble. Had to weld washers, replace worn bushings so I figured I'd upgrade to better parts.

Still to this day though it doesn't drive just right and steering parts wear fast. Especially the steering boxes. I am thinking my shock and spring combo is off which is why it's so harsh and passing all the shock to the steering.

 

you might try dropping your tire pressure to around 25-28psi. I assume you have stock coils. If the ride feels harsh then try that first, then maybe shocks. the tire pressure can make a big difference, you dont need the max psi stated on the sidewall in them. It gets kinda tough when you start piecing things together instead of going with a complete suspension kit.(past experience)

 

I have tried 28 to 35 psi with little to no difference. Makes no sense cause I am running street tire that is a stock size on stock wheels. So at this point think it's the spring/shock combo not being in sync. I am running springs from a Rubicon on my Sport 2 DR. I also have 3/4 leveling spacers in the front only. I am debating taking the spacers out and reinstalling my stock springs instead of the rubicon ones I have in now.

 

That 3/4 space up front may have off-shot your alignment a tad...my BL on my TJ did the same thing...granted we are talking about a different vehicle but maybe the physics are the same...when you take the spacers out, update this thread to see if that does the trick...most likely you aren't the only one with that issue...

Good luck!
