Suspension - Help !!
Hi all, Im gonna try make this is as simple as possible so here goes -
Im after some advice in regards to the suspension on my 2012 2 door JK. I am looking at changing my "left to right / side to side " suspension of the jeep rather than the "front to back" but have no idea what parts are required to change. To clarify, I am looking at making the 'left to right / side to side' more sturdy (rather than the front to back)
Any help is greatly appreciated - Cheers

Suspension - Help !!
So if you are trying to control body roll you fit upgraded sway bars to limit side to side.
Stiffer springs and shocks to suit will give you less body roll but increase ride stiffness as well or in your terms front to back.

Adjustable shocks will be the go rather than stiffer springs. What height lift do you have?

If you haven't already done so, the installation of a rear trackbar relocation bracket will help. If you go over 3.5" in lift then you will need to look into a High steer flip for the front.

Is it body roll (side roll when cornering) your trying to reduce?
Is it stock now or do you have it lifted already? Thicker Swaybars are the go but if it's at stock height now also consider the Mopar lift springs. These are very stiff and firm on the 2dr and will give you that boy racer feel on road if that's what your looking for. Very cheap secondhand but not a good lift for off-roading. If you go 4wding often don't use this lift.
