Your tires could be out of round. Bad shocks. Bad motor mounts. Could be a number of things. How many kms on the clock?

Anti sway bars disconnected? Back one should never need disconnecting. Other than that maybe check shocks.

So far we have found the steering dampner stuffed and and so are the shocks
Would like to put about a 2 inch lift what type would give you a good ride ?
Thank for the help

Lots of lift options but Old Man Emu do a nice tuned package set up for your rig dependent on body type, bars etc. don't be tempted to go for their heavy duty springs unless you are so heavy as to need them as this will just result in a stiff three inch lift. I've been running OME for a few years now and no probs, just swapped out front springs to HD when I put the bar and winch on. OME do a JK steering dampener now also. Pays to relocate it above the tie rod to get it up out of harms way. Check the relocation bracket from Double Black Offroad dotcom

Just incase you are worried that a 2 inch OME lift won't give you enough flex these were taken today :)
