Lift kit

[murphys pub]

So I recently installed a 3.5in rough country lift kit and some 35s on my 2020 Gladiator Overland. Everything rides clean, but I noticed some pull in the wheel around 45-50 mph. I installed a steering stabilizer but didn’t resolve the issue. Anyone have any recommendations?

Was the steering stabilizer primed before install?

I’m not sure. I just took it out of the box and bolted it on

What do you mean "some pull in the wheel around 45-50 mph"?

Do you mean a shimmy/wobble?

X2, when you say pull do you mean the jeep is pulling to one side or another, or it feels the Jeep is pulling back, or what?

Did you prime your stabilizer?
Silly question....but did you get an alignment after the lift?
Did it have adjustable control arms?

It’s not any type of crazy pull but once you get to speed the wheel will pull left and right.

I guess you can word it as wobble

The wheel will pull left and right. Not to bad but enough to be annoying

How do you prime the stabilizer? I did get an alignment done at tire kingdom but it did not come with adjustable control arms

It’s not like it will randomly veer left it right, it will constantly do it. I’ve never had death wobble before but I’ve seen videos of it. It seems like that just not as severe

I would be curious about your caster angle etc. When it changes a truck can feel like a shopping cart. IT is terrifying.

Check the changes Clayton recommends for their lift kits when going up from stock height.

Does it seem like it's following irregularities in the road? Getting some caster angle back will help. I would look into adjustable upper control arms at the least. Also if you don't have adjustable track bars get those as well so you can get the axles centered up.

I say go back to the alignment shop and ask them to do a review of the front end allignment.

Sounds like your caster is off, you need some longer lower control arms at a minimum with the RC 3.5" lift. If you are planning on wheeling it, get a set of longer adjustable lower control arms. If you aren't planning on wheeling it a lot, get some control arm drop brackets.
