After many years and many brands I finally pulled the trigger on a Jeep. I picked up a 2023 Gladiator Mojave.
I after 200 miles I upgrade to the Fox 2.0 ATS steering stabilizer and 315/70R17 BFG KO2 with a set of TIS 556BA wheels…

Why the upgrade to the steering stabilizer?

Why the upgrade to the steering stabilizer?

The steering felt very sloppy in my opinion. And it’s some point in the near future I plan on going to 37” tires.

We did the same thing, it does make a difference albeit not huge but there is a difference.

Welcome aboard! We look forward to hearing about your new ride and there is no short comings of opinions just waiting to come your way to help guide you down every rabbit hole you can imagine.

Nice set of wheels/tires, looks great with the white body and trim package.
First advice, if I may, for the steering is to make sure your tire PSI is right for tracking straight. The best way is to do the “chaulk test” across the tread and drive in a straight line for 50 yards or so and see what chaulk is left and adjust the PSI from there. Your steering will be way better.

Second, (you need to be good with a torque bar) it would come as no surprise to any of us here if you grabbed your torque bar (assuming you have one, if not, first tool you must have) and slide underneath and check all the suspension nuts and bolts and find most if not all are loose from the factory. If that’s not something you’re comfortable with, take it back to the dealership, log in your complaint and ask to have all those checked and retorqued.

Third suggestion is to ask your service manager if going up to 37” will void any suspension, power steering or transmission warranties and get his advice from what he’s seen. I can guarantee that if you develop any issues with these, tire size will be one of the first things that get checked.

Good luck with the new ride!

Thanks for the advice, that was the first thing we did was torque check all suspension components before we installed the 35” tires and wheels.
