Check your shocks as they might be blown. Usually a bouncy ride comes from them being bad and your only riding on the springs

Probably blown shocks and your lift probably has no means of adjusting caster. Suggest new shocks and adjustable front lower control arms...

Had same issues with my RE lift before I replaced it. Check caster like suggested and also did you raise your front track bar? Drag link flip? What tire pressure are you running?

For starters lower your PSI down to 28 - 30. Afterwards getting adjustable front lower control arms will help with your caster and the flighty / wandering feeling. Lastly, with that much lift a drag link flip kit will help with bump steer and make your track bar & drag link parallel with each other giving proper geometry..

That's awfully high. Try dropping to 28& see if that helps any better yet do the chalk test

As others have stated, try lowering your tire psi but also, you really should look into getting some adjustable front lower control arms so that you can add a bit more positive caster. That'll help with the flightiness you're feeling at highway speeds.

You could always get an AEV Procal or programmer to turn off the (_!_) light. As for the LCA, Evo or JKS to name a few...:beer:

Sweet! Amazing how much of a difference that little of a change in pressure makes.
