2 Inch Mopar Lift Installed - Yay Bumpsteer

[Joe Paul]

Anyone with this lift installed agree? When I hit a bump there is a lot of bump steer in my opinion. Anyone add a steering stabilizer (or other components) to correct this issue? I hope Fox comes out with their adjustable steering stabilizer soon (Fox ATS?) for the JL soon! I hope SteerSmarts makes their products available for the JL soon!

I've had mine installed for almost a year now, with no issues.

All is well here too, I’ve had mine installed for about seven months with no issues! My dealer installed mine.

As soon as I added a Steersmarts adjustable track bar, it was much better. I also had the bad steering stabilizer which didn't help. Who knows, maybe I had a bad OEM trackbar as well. FCA is starting to replace them now.

My jl has had severe bump steer since install I ordered trac bar relocation brackets for the front and rear as well as new front and rear trac bars but was wondering if i really need the trac bar brackets id rather not drill the mounts if i dont have to. Any real help would be appreciated

We had the same issue on our JL after it was lifted with the mopar Kit.. Even though the Mopar kit came with the extended lower arms.. The Caster was way off an the axle was not centered. After replacing those arms with adjustable ones and an adjustable front track bar, we set the caster to about 5 degrees. This solved the bump steer issue. Drives nice and smooth now with 37s.

Can you tell me what you bought?
I have roughly the same build.

I would recommend the Steersmarts adjustable track bar for the front. No bracket necessary. For the rear I would recommend the TeraFlex trackbar relocation bracket. Did you already order everything?

I've heard the RK, MC and TF adj control arms are all great. For an adjustable trackbar I would recommend the Steersmarts one.

I ordered the heavy duty rancho front and rear trac bars per [Banned Site] and i also ordered the teraflex front and rear track bar brackets my only concern was the trac bar brackets say for 2.5 or higher lift and i know the jeep gained more than 2” but its still marketed as a 2” lift i just dont want it to settle over time and have drilled the trac bar mount only to have to take it off later

With the adjustable track bars and a 2 in lift, you should not also need the relocation brackets. I have the same Rancho front and rear track bars for a couple months now with no issues. Try it without them first. Only do one change at a time and evaluate.
