I had the same issue on a customer Jeep recently a 2026 Rubicon, We had to drop the castor down to 4 degrees to get it to stop vibrating.
I am at 6. what size lift?

Oh wow! Maybe need to make some adjustments and see.
Has control arm drops and lower arms, and a cv front driveline.. Doesn’t drive as good with the lower castor. But at least it doesn’t feel like the transfer case is gonna blow up.

That was the isue we had was the handling. With the 6 degrees it handles better... if i set to 73mph on the highway the vibration goes away but 50-70 it is party time. I have been researching the FAD install and am going to do this until Wontons are ready to be ordered.

Thank you!!! Their price is in line! I want to make sure if I do it then it is going to be "reliable" so new and preferrably oem-ish is the way i would prefer to go.
Yes OEM units are very robust. I have placed mine in and out of 4wd at least 5 days a week for 5 yrs and thing works like clockwork.

5 days a week? How terrible are the roads in West Virginia?
I work on Raw new construction oil and Gas sites, from tree cutting to finished well pads. 4wd is a must. Steep muddy terrain with rocks etc..
