Actually, the Rubicon has arguably the worst steering due to the (slightly) lifted suspension while keeping the Sport/Sahara LCAs. I had the exact same flightiness that you have, and longer front/lower control arms fixed it. The longer fixed length ones were a little too short for my rig, but they are so cheap ($60) that there is no harm in trying them first.
Spend $30 more and go Core 4x4 Tier 3. Just sayin................................
Rubicon's steering is the same (or possibly slightly worse due to the caster).
you're recommending jsut the longer L
tsb is the first thing I'll be looking at having done..but, and excuse the ignorance, if I get the adjustable lower, do I really need adjustable uppers as well?
Did you get your TSB done? I have a sport trying to improve the constant correction on mine. I dont know where to spend the $$$ lol...Ive been looking at synergy kits, LCA and steering stablizer only, etc
I don't think that the Synergy brace will do anything for on-road handling. The appropriately sized LCAs are your best bet if you want to get the single best bang-for-the-buck. Mine are set 3/8" longer than stock, and all flightiness is gone. My JL now steers like a JK. That would usually be a step backwards, but not in this case.
Appreciate that, now to figure out which ones to go for.
I'll probably get flambéed for saying this, but designing these is not rocket science - virtually any name brand should be fine. That said, if you find a pair of adjustable ones for less than, say, $150, you are probably tempting fate.
Can not speak for the Synergy brace, as I have a cheap knock off. The brace does make for improved steering.That makes it feel more planted to the road, less wondering.
I also agree that a front track bar brace provides for improved steering. It’s that last piece to tie the steering together and eliminates flex at the steering box/frame rail.
I went with the core 4x 4 tier 3 and I'm happy.
you can order the parts individually they have another section for components, also if you call your dealer they can order what ever part you want.. I got the adventure series one then went back and ordered the rear upper control arms separately highly recommend @River City Offroad for anything but especially rockkrawler stuff..
