Normal driving for a lifted JL on 37" tires or not? Would appreciate some input.
Okay Guys and Gals. I am completely new to the Jeep world as well as driving a vehicle with a lift kit and larger mud tires. I recently purchased a 2019 JL Rubicon unlimited, had a Mopar 2" lift installed by the dealership and put 37" Cooper Discoverer STT Pros (37 X 13.50 X R17) on it. Let me try to describe what I feel when driving the Jeep. It feels as if you really have to pay attention and actually work to keep the Jeep in your lane. I am not experiencing anything like some of the issues others have described with the death wobble and things like that. It just seems like you have to have constant driver input to maintain the vehicle in your lane, especially the faster the vehicle goes. I just want to know if this is normal and expected behavior when driving a lifted vehicle on mud type tires. I know it is a completely different vehicle than most others on the road, I just want to make sure it is normal to feel this type of driving behavior so I don't overlook something that could be wrong with the Jeep and just blow it off as that is what a vehicle like this probably feels like when driving it. Sorry for what some may think is a stupid question, I just have never experienced anything like this before and want to know it is normal for this kind of set-up. Thank you in advance for your input, it is appreciated.
