Steering Upgrade Help

I have a 2014 JKUR with a 3.5" RK X-Factor lift and 35" Nitto muds. Haven't done anything to the steering yet and I'm still running the stock stabilizer. It seems like the Jeep wanders a little bit when going above 45 MPH. What can I do to fix it? And also how vulnerable are the stock steering components? What would be some good upgrade to do? Any help is appreciated.

I was noticing the same thing after I got my 2.5" RK lift and 35" Nitto trail grapplers. After a bunch of research, and wondering if it was really worth the extreme price tag, I decided to change out my factory steering stabilizer for the Fox 2.0 ATS stabilizer. No regrets. It doesn't push one way or the other and makes highway driving much more bearable. No more wandering. It's also completely adjustable :D

Haven't really had any issues with any steering components getting damaged on the trails, but theres always the possibility!

Sounds like you may not have enough positive caster. What do you have your set at?
