Feels like anything over 55MPH the steering needs a bit of tweaking when hitting bumps etc, minor complaint but its really the only real one I have

Anyone else?

Tweaking = Adjusting meaning over a certain speed it seems the adjustments are more frequent

I’d say it’s a jump, first thought was needed a little more weight

It's most likely due to the Front and Rear live axles. Almost all other vehicles on the market have at a minimum front independent suspension.

Consider it a Small price to pay for a leap in off road worthiness.

You’re probably referring to bump steer, which has always been the case with Jeeps and many other trucks

Look at tire pressure. Could be maxed. Take a couple pounds out if so.

It was tire pressure :)

Dunno, I'm on like 10 new pickups in 10-12 years (almost trade in yearly) never had this and my old jeep didnt but WDFs suggestion was spot on. Yes rides like a cadillac but poorly cared for country roads it felt as it steering wheel had some bump left or right when going over bumps, under 50 perfection
