Major pulling after lift HELP!

In my opinion you need caster
Front lower control arms should fix your issues

Lowering the tire pressures should help.
Did you loosen all the control arm(16 bolts) and track bar (4 bolts) then re-torque them when the Jeep was on the ground and settled?
I've noticed weird handling characteristics when those bolts aren't torqued at the new ride height(Especially the trackbars.)

picking her up from the alignment shop today then going to re torque everything like you said

caster is off by a little they just called me

I have the same lift and that is not normal, mine rides better that OEM - sounds like something is off or loose if it’s only happening when you bumps.

So weird!! have you ever had to slam the brakes at 70+mph? just curious

UPDATE- Jeep drives much straighter since alignment, still not perfect. everythings tight under the truck, weird how the front left wheel has -1 degree of camber and right has 0.0. same with rear left had -0.3 and right has 0.0. Anyone else have that issue?

Just curious
What did they change/adjust on the alignment?

Haven’t hit them that fast, probably 45-50 and no issues. Hitting the brakes hard on any lifted vehicles with oversized tires at 70mph will make it act weird. My alignment is perfect all that had to be done was recenter my steering wheel a bit. I was very fortunate to have the techs at superlift install mine as it was the first sport model with a soft top they had to put this new lift on.

noticed it got better after the alignment but that makes sense! curious how it is on the highway

UPDATE!! Been doing a ton of trial and error to resolve this issue and is still happening. Come to find out the shocks im using is for the 4 inch kit and not the 2 inch which should have been boxed when i installed. skyjacker must have made the error on their behalf and i am currently waiting on their response. Do you think this could be my problem?? Thanks for the reply's guys!

If you are hitting a hard enough bump where you are "bottoming out" the taller shocks then I could see it causing a pulling when hitting hard bumps(Especially if the shocks are mismatched side/side?)
They sent me the wrong swaybar links with my 4 inch kit... Well, the rears were correct and I had two different lengths on the front(One I assume from the 2" kit)

I would get your caster corrected and then go from there. Try to get it around 6 degrees

Hey guys! ( first time jeeper here) might sound a little excessive but ive driven many lifted trucks both big and small and never seen anything this bad. So last week I installed my 2.5 Inch skyjacker lift with black maxx shocks with my 35s and finally had a chance to make it on my first highway drive to jeep beach. Here is what is happening, At highway speeds (60-80mph) on a straight smooth highway the jeep drives very straight with no problems, Now when there is a bump or a groove in the road the jeep literally tries to kill me. Ive never felt swaying so bad and pulling as hard as this did. im talking 2 hands and hold on for dear life LOL also if you need to slam on the brakes (i had to do multiple times) the jeep will sway back and forth and feels like the back end is lifting off the ground ( its not stopping) tire pressures ive been messing with and had them at 36-37 cold psi on this drive and warm psi of about 38-39.So the big question is, is this all normal for a jeep or is something wrong, maybe the lift in general?

35 x ? x ? size and what brand
