Re: My New FJ and Lift and Wheels. The ride is a little loose now.

Did you go up in tire size?

If so, you might just be feeling the extra floatiness (not a word, but hey) of the extra rubber.

When I went from stock tires to 33's I was pretty startled at how much softer the steering and handling got just from the extra rubber being there and flexing before turning. I bet it is only a millisecond or less of lag, but you can feel the difference.

Check the alignment of course, or find someone near you with a similar setup and ask to test drive there's and see if it feels the same.
