:doh: I am running E rated tires as well. I bet it comes down to the steering box brace...

I've got E rated tires and run 24 psi on the street in my TJ. I'm guessing you'd be around 26 given the increased weight of the JKU. Best thing to do is a chalk test to make sure the tire is conforming to the road properly to provide proper wear.

That's exactly why i dropped it from 32 to 26 to make them wear evenly. I tightened the SS a few clicks which helped so far, I only testerd up to 30 mph tonight so I will see tomorrow.

Ish doesn't have 35s, keep that in mind! Still think 26 is too low for 35s

No I don't, but tires are tires. Pressures and sidewalls are all the same game. This isn't my first jeep and I've been in the game long enough to know some chit.

With 33s i ran them higher too.. But could be the BFGs (c rated) vs the type of tires y'all run.

Take your garden hose and make a wet spot on the road or drive way. Roll through the water slow and stop. Just the very outside and inside of the tire should be dry , 1/4" . Just trying to show you how to find whats a good air psi for street driving. By keeping the edges dry ,it slows down the chopping of our tires. With all new components there should be no steering issues at all. Are at least one (upper/lower) arm adjustable ? They have to set the caster back to stock and add for the lift. Its what keeps the Jeep running straight. FjR68

All 8 arms are adjustable. I may bump the pressure up to 28. I think the adjuster in the SS allows for some play tightening it up was better. It could also be that the only other car I drive is an Audi A6 which drives like a sharp knife making the jeep feel a bit sloppy( I could just be a bit crazy)

Is the steering wheel centered when driving in a straight line? Your JK cares about that (at least the stability control program does.) The shop should have done that when they aligned it after your lift install.

It's also probably pretty sensitive to slop or play in the steering. You should try to work that out,

It is centered the stability program seems to have worked its self out. I'll just have some of you drive it at jeep 101 and see what you think.
