So, I have a 2007 Unlimited, and just went from 37's to 40's, on the highway the other day I seemed to feel some "Drift" at speed, I'm wondering if it may be time to replace shocks and steering stablizers, but how do you know when the shocks are ready to be replaced? I've seen cars with bad shocks bouncing all over, our JK rides and handles great, and was just aligned with the new tires, a front end check at the shop revealed everything was good, it has 95k on it.

Thanks!

How many miles on said shocks?
Mind telling us the brand?
We recommend new shocks every 50,000 miles BTW, that being said I had a guy last year warranty a set for his Excursion with 275K on them.

Whats your caster set at? You might want to give it a little more caster with the new 40's depending on where your sitting now.

OK, don't laugh at me, they're either Rough Country or Rancho, it's my wife's truck and she's out with her friends tonight, but I do believe they have around 50,000 on them. I have no ride or handling issues, can you elaborate on the caster, which way should I go or what should I tell the shop, they're pretty proficiant

Your wife's jeep is on 40"s??? Very impressive!

If it is light on caster then you will experience some wandering. The factory caster spec is 4.2-4.5 degrees, the larger tires can benefit from slightly higher caster.

meaning 4.7-4.9?

I'd like to run it down this week

But also back to the shock/stableizer question, am I due?

And yes, the wife's JK has 40's, I drive a TJ with 35's

Don't even go there...

while browsing through your flickr pictures, my ol' lady pointed out the air intake on the Chevelle is different from shot to shot.
Somehow I didn't notice.

Can you post pics of what you got? 4-6 degrees of positive caster is what we recommend.
