I wish I had taken a picture but I was in a hurry due to incoming rain.

I hauled 15 80# bags of Quickcrete in the cargo area of my JLUR. Needless to say it was squatting a little. It handled the load a lot better than I thought it would being lifted on 37's.
I did that with about a 1000 lbs of marble chips. I was a little shocked when I noticed that I could see over the hard top. It handled it well enough, but the steering and brakes were a bit squishy. Next time, I'm getting a trailer. (No lift, stock 33's)

And ? Noticeable difference ?
huge about an 80% reduction in freeway wander, steering is tight and and no wobble in bumps..

Can still feel the steering issue is there but if I had picked the Jeep up like this I would of thought it was fine, just super aware now

I installed the same one about 2 months ago and I agree! Huge difference in wander and stability.

I'm at 14.. I tried it higher but felt too firm to me.. When taking a turn I felt like the wheel wouldn't spin back fast enough, if that makes sense
that is exactly why I asked, I feel like I have to whip it back in line on some turns.. like it wants to keep turning.. how does it feel at 14?

Its much better at 14 simple to adjust with a flat head screwdriver.. I would play around with it.. I started in the middle(12) and went up/down from their. Each click is a noticeable change
