    With my 3 inch lift- I've got no issues. It's been perfectly stable for all my driving needs.

    MUCH better offroad and no real issues with steering control.

    You won't be disappointed at all offroad.

    And as with ANY change- Prudent /Careful driving while setting into the new configuration is key to safety.
