Finally after 3.5 years and many off road adventures, I decided to lift the Jeep. I did the Mopar lift along with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 37 12.5s. I also added steer smarts bracket for steering as well as a Fox stabilizer to my 18 JLUR.

Everything drives great, alignment is good etc. My steering is tighter and much more precise, whichI love.
My question is, if I hit a medium to large bump in the road, my steering wheel shakes back and forth quite a bit, much more than factory settings ever did. The Jeep doesn't veer off course but it's a fairly violent shake. I've never had 37s before, just 35s on my JK. Does this sound normal?

Likely that garbage factory track bar, but also check ball joint torque, tie rod ends, drag link. All that stuff was barely adequate with the factory setup, now you’re going to start wearing stuff out much faster with 37s.

Thank you. I failed to mentioned, I did an adjustable track bar as well.

I personally found that adjustable lower control arms did the trick for me. As other will say it also is a good idea to make sure you have no play in anything up front too.
