Have about 17,000 miles on my Mopar lift steel bumper and lighter weight Warn Evo up front. Yeti track bar and drag link with attenuator and front control arms dialed in to 6ish caster. Willy’s so my lift gave significantly more than two inches. Anyhow, over the last few months I’ve noticed the ride comfort has decreased and bump steer has increased. Even small bumps are equal parts jarring as they are far more bouncy in general. Road imperfections is general are just generally rough and far less dampened. I do have a winter rack with traction boards and rotopax on the bed. Bumps just seem to shake and rattle the cab (and my spine). I’ve aired down that didn’t help. Checked torque on pretty much everything all fine. I didn’t see obvious evidence of leaking shocks.
What else can I check or look for in terms of shocks or springs? Is this just normal for a broken in Mopar lift fox shocks? I don’t know how something can be so bouncy yet jarring at the same time? I have some sag up front from the bumper and winch but I don’t believe I’m riding the bump stops only thing like that.
Thanks for any help you can give, this is my first vehicle where I’m doing my own work as it’s hard not to with the suspension all being right there and accessible. Under low speed forest service wash board it’s fine, feels well dampened and performs better than many other Jeeps I’ve been in. Just bumps at speeds above 30mph.
