Hey guys I just installed a Dynatrac 2" kit with 35" Nitto trail grappler MT's. the install went nice and easy. I also added the Fox 2.0 shocks and a Fox ATS front steering stabilizer. I did the factory lower control arms also and have it all aliened afterwards. Took the Jeep out for a ride and it seems to be a lot softer than the stock set up. Has anyone noticed that with this kit? I'm wondering if the shocks are not firm enough or is the spring rate softer than the stock Rubicon springs and that's what I'm noticing? it just seems to be on the softer side and makes the jeep walk around more. No death wobble or anything but a lot more movement than stock. Wondering if that just the norm with lifted Jeeps? This is our first Jeep we've owned. Any feed back would be great! thanks guys.

This lift and the Mopar lift are known to be soft. The Mopar lift was too soft for me. I changed out the Fox shocks to Falcon shocks and it rides perfect. Very plush ride and the Jeep isn't swaying all over the place anymore.
The Falcon shocks have been known to be too stiff, but if you pair them with a very soft spring like Dynatrac or Mopar they feel great.

Do you mean steering wandering or swaying around wandering?
It fixed the swaying which felt a little like wandering. The way I took care of the steering wandering was adding some front lower control arm brackets made by Rancho. My steering is more tight than stock now. I have absolutely no steering wander with a 3" lift and 37s.
A couple of easier things to try first is lowering your tire PSI down to about 30 and seeing how that feels and adjusting your caster alignment as high as you can. Somewhere around 6 or so is supposed to be good. But the Fox shocks did exsagurate the feeling of steering sway because they were so soft.

Swaying around. i added the Mopar LCA and had it all aligned and she’s at 5.5 caster now. I have the Fox ATS steering stablizer on there set on 10 also. They go to 25 so I thought put it in the middle. I definitely think it’s the set up being soft. I was thinking down the road might try the Falcon adjustable shocks so I can dial them in for what I’m doing?

Another trick people do that have a 4 door is get the Falcon shocks that are tuned for the lighter weight 2 door Jeep. I didn't do this because I got the 3.3 quick adjust and I am weighted down a little bit with steel bumpers, rock slider steps, winch, etc.

Awesome info sir thank you very much. I ordered them from Extreme and will have them Friday. Looking forward to installing them and seeing how it goes. I wouldn't have been happy if I left it alone.
