First time posting. I don't know crap about lifting Jeeps, all of my other cars have gone closer to the ground.
I purchased this Jeep from a guy who tried lifting it, he could not get the front springs in, probably because they are off of a box truck.
I got them in. The lower control arms are at the limit, I need longer end links. The truck drives like crap.
From what I read I probably need different lower arms. Anything else I can do to make the truck drive a bit better? Or is the crap feel due to the front sway bar being disconnected?
Thanks!
