I've been running the Dynatrac 2" lift on my '19 4-door Sahara for a while. The ride, the dampening, and the cornering have been fine, but the steering did not feel right. There was too much play around in the dead zone and too much adjustment needed when driving on a highway.
I started with adding control arms from the Mopar lift kit, which are about 1/4" longer than stock, to improve the caster. Then I replaced the stock steering stabilizer (which has been replaced by the dealer twice) with Teraflex adjustable steering stabilizer. This helped a bit, but the steering was still too loose for my taste.
At the Chicago Auto show I spoke with AEV folks (who were exhibiting some sweet rides, BTW), who told me that they always install geometry correction brackets, even on their smallest 2" lifts.
After this conversation. I purchased and installed Rancho geometry correction brackets, and finally the steering is spot on! There is nice heaviness around the center, the Jeep is much more enjoyable to drive on the highway, and the ride on bumpy surfaces has improved as well.
Hope this will help someone's suspension journey.
