My 05 LJ has steel bumpers, wench, roof rack, 33's with spare. I recently installed Rancho 9000 shocks in effort to firm up the rear. Previous owner installed a BDS 4" lift.
The problem I'm having is it handles poorly, the rear feels soft and vague. I installed a roof top tent on the rack, previously it was bad and now it is un-drivable. Was thinking I would install a stiffer (Hellwig) rear anti-bar in effort to lessen the wiggle. I don't know what the rear springs rates are so I don't know what to replace them with. I want to use my LJ for some remote camping in the Colorado mtns but the way it drives now it's too dangerous.
I recently replaced the front ball joints, upgraded to a currie corecttrac steering, new Goodyear tires, new shocks, adjustable rear trac bar, (have front already) front steers fine, but the rear feels like its riding on a water bed.
I know an LJ is heavier then a TJ and a loaded LJ is ever heavier yet.
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
