2001 TJ sport
I have a 3 and 1/4 inch lift with 33 inch ko2 tires. This being my first Jeep I assume they just all rode like a bucking bronco. It definitely was a two hands on the steering wheel adventure.
I was constantly making a judgments to the steering wheel fighting back and forth I assumed the tires being so wide they were just grabbing every groove in the road and trying to follow them.
recently I replace my gas tank skid plate and you can see that other thread for issues I had with the fuel pump. Why was out I decided to tackle other items that I wasn't sure even needed it.
I replace the rear track bar bushing the bushing that went to the frame was very loose and was easily wobbled all over when grabbing it with my hand. I replace the sway bar bushings as well. I also replace the front sway bar bushings. Both sway bar links were new from my lift kit last year.
The difference in handling is amazing, I no longer even have to hold on to the steering wheel to go perfectly straight down the road without any issues, shaking or jumping around. I am absolutely amazed every time I drive it now it's like a completely different jeep.
For those of you having similar issues or wondering if it makes a difference, it absolutely does and was a very cheap easy upgrade.
another bonus since I changed the fuel strainers on the fuel pump while I had the tank out, the difference in performance and smooth running is amazing.
I swear it's like adding extra horsepower, it accelerates smoother, easier and overall is a much more enjoyable driving experience. Go for it.
