ok heres the thing i noticed i got no stabilizer bar in the front and a reg steering system on the front also it have a drop pitman arm but i got spoa and 3 inch spring i noticed alot of bump steer and swaying of the jeep if i got a hi steer and find a stabilizer bar would this help alot? thanks guys for your time to answer aloha ;D

By a stabilizer bar do you mean a Steering Stabilizer or do you mean a Sway Bar?
It sounds like you have an 8" lift. I would recommend switching to a High Steer setup, that should take care of most of your bump steering issues.
-
yes sway bar sorry im kinda new to this bub also would your recommend a body lift? but yes i just ordered a hi steer as we speak ;) thanks bud
-
No, I wouldn't recommend a body lift. I'm not a big fan of them myself.
You should have plenty of lift the way you are. Unless you are planning on running 35-38" tires there shouldn't be any need to go higher. The Sway Bar might help with body roll around corners but usually doesn't help to much with the bump steer problem.
I just put a steering stabilizer back on my SJ after running for years without one. The new tires are a bit out of balance when most of the air is let out of them, I'm hoping this fixes that issue.

yeah i dont want a body lift either but yeah ill see when i put in the hi steer thanks bro
-
How big of a tire are you running or trying to run?
It doesn't sound like you need a body lift at all.

if we are talking about a samauari, you will need to "clearance" the wheel wells a little. some people cut and fab, some use BFH, both cases work. what helps also(and i have no idea what lift your running) is to try to move the front axel forward a couple inches. the YJ spring kit does this. i have also seen people redrill the pilot hole on the spring pad. both will dramaticly reduce tire rub. or just but tires from americas and get the warranty :laugh:
good luck

If you have 3" lift springs and a spring over you have enough room for 33's, 34's, possibly 35's depending on how aggressive of tires you want to go.
