If your Jeep wanders or drifts side to side, especially after installing a lift and larger tires, here are a few potential solutions: * **Tire Pressure:** Try lowering your tire pressure. Some users found that reducing PSI to around 25-33 PSI improved handling. Experiment to find what works best for your tire size. * **Caster Angle:** A lift kit can negatively impact your caster angle, leading to poor handling. Consider control arm brackets or adjustable control arms to correct the caster. Research caster correction for lifted Jeeps. * **Steering Components:** Check your tie rods and ball joints for wear or damage. Replacing worn components can significantly improve steering stability.

My Jeep was steering horribly and was hard to keep in the lane with stock tires and wheels. New tie rods and ball joints and it's a totally new deal now.
