I have been struggling with my steering since putting on my 2.5 inch lift on my 2019 unlimited Rubicon. I ended up putting Cooper 37" SST Pro's. The steering was very flighty at best and if you went over expansion joints it would become a white knuckle ride.
I decided to take this as a step by step approach and try and see what exactly was the weak link. With the help of this forum and the videos I started on the quest of what I expected as good steering.
Step 1 was putting on a Synergy adjustable track bar. This improved the steering quite a bit but there was still a lot of play or dead spot in the steering wheel. At least it was not a white knuckle ride.
Step 2 was the synergy frame and track bar brace. After putting on this brace it made the steering almost normal and reduced the dead spot to almost nothing.I could of just left it at that and I would of been happy but...
For Christmas I got a Synergy drag link and tie rod I put it on along with the Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer. This was Step 3 along with alignment. Thanks for the very useful video on how to do the alignment.
This was it, I took the Jeep on a 60 mile road trip on good and bad roads and the steering is rock solid! In my opinion these 3 steps are what is needed to get the steering where it needs to be.
I wanted to take the time to just say thanks to this community for helping me out.
