Newbe steering question

[rickinAZ]

I have 2021 JLURD with the new (cast iron) steering box. Steering is not bad, but sure could use improvement. [I'm spoiled by JK's tight steering.] If I were looking to try to make the steering incrementally better, what is the first change that you'd make? This is an on-road vehicle only, so traditional off-road oriented solutions may be overkill. With the new steering box in place, what is now the Achilles Heel (if any)?

Since you have the Rubicon your caster will almost surely be too low (unless they finally updated to slightly longer Lower Control Arms). This will result in a tendency to wander off center at higher speeds. If that's what you're dealing with consider adding the Mopar LCAs that are listed in my post here, might see if you can verify your LCA part # in case they have made a change.
