I just put a 3'' lift in my 03 liberty freedom edition. When im driving on a bumpy paved or dirt road the steering wheel shakes back and forth. Im getting a front end alignment tomorrow. Im thinking this wont take care of the issue. if anyone has any info it would be welcomed :happy160:

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
Get the alignment 1st,your camber and toe are way out causing severe handling issues.After the alignment if you still have it then you need to start looking for worn parts and tire balancing.

x2 on the tire balancing. When was the last time these tires were properly balanced? Are they new? Last time I got tires, the balancing machine was not functioning correctly at the place I got them done. Took them 4 (free of charge) balancings to realize that their machine calibration was WAY off.

I noticed something similar after I lifted my Jeep. An alignment and new tires (balancing the wheels) fixed the problem.
