Bouncy ride on my Wrangler after lift kit install
Alistairgreenwood
I installed a 2.5 inch lift kit on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK about six months ago and at first the ride was fine, but lately it's become super bouncy and harsh over small bumps, like the suspension isn't absorbing anything. I'm running Fox shocks that came with the kit and they're not leaking as far as I can tell. A friend said it could be that the shocks are too stiff for my setup or maybe the control arm bushings are binding because the geometry changed. I don't wanna just buy new shocks without knowing if something else is wrong. I need to find a shop that can check the suspension angles, bushing preload, and shock valving to figure out why it's riding so poorly. I've been looking for Elite Suspension Repair Mussafah that has experience with lifted Jeeps and can do things like check the bump stop clearance and caster angle. Has anyone here had a lift kit that rode great at first but then got worse over time, and found it was something like the track bar bushings wearing out or the shocks losing gas pressure? Also wondering if tire pressure could make that big of a difference, I'm running 35 psi on 35s right now. Any advice on what to check or a good shop in Mussafah would be amazing. Thanks.
