Hello all,

Just had a Clayton Offroad 2.5" Overland Plus lift with Fox 2.0 shocks and steering stabilizer put on with the alignment numbers shown in the picture below. There's a right pull thats constant and it started after I put on the 37x13.5x17 Cooper STT Pros (28-30 psi) but is about the same or worse now with the lift installed. The shop drove it and agreed and continued to dial in the alignment to attempt to fix it. They also said that if I upgraded my steering stabilizer from the Fox 2.0 PS IFP to one like the Fox ATS that can go through the other end it could help correct that.

I figured the lift and corrected alignment would take care of the right side pull. Aside from that it drives and handles great. I could get over it I suppose but just curious if anyone has had similar results with any of these products or a known solution.

New to this, appreciate the help!

Thanks all!

Surprised the front castor isn’t set higher. 5.6 would be more like it.
I've seen a higher caster referred to multiple times...I'll look into getting that fixed and see how it does.

A large negative thrust angle indicates the rear axle is pointing to the left. The negative thrust angle will tend to push the car to the right. The Wrangler JL specs list 0.25 degrees as a maximum, but a value lower than 0.10, for example 0.03 degrees should be the goal.

The rear control arms should be adjusted to correct for minimum thrust angle.

While a bit more caster may help some, as we actually recommend something in the low to mid fives, swapping out that steering stabilizer for a through-shaft stabilizer would most likely solve your problem! The Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer is a great upgrade, but unfortunately just like the stock stabilizer it tends to favor one side in terms of pulling.
