Rougher than usual ride

[JLearie]

In the past month or so I have noticed that my 2008 Sahara Unlimited has been riding rougher than usual. I know that "It's a Jeep and it's supposed to be rough," but it has been getting progressively worse. Right now it has 275/70/17 BFG At's on stock rims & a Teraflex 2/1 levelling kit with Rubi shocks. No wobble, but a pronounced roughness and some vibrations at all speeds. Where should I look first for problems?

what's the tire pressure?

What's your tire pressure at?

I'm not too sure at the moment. I haven't aired down or up in the last 2 months though.

Have you taken it in for any work? know every time I took my last JK in for service or warranty work they changed the tire pressures.

How many miles on the tires?

All things being equal, I would have to agree - check your tires psi.

Not sure where you live but if the temperature has been rising that could increase your tire pressure. Also if your springs have sagged or you added weight to your Jeep you could be riding on the bumpstops.

Has the temp outside dropped significantly? Jeeps creak a little more when it's cold out (everything contracts and is looser) and shocks stiffen up, hence the stiffer ride.

The pressure was around 36. I had it to a garage recently, they must have added air. Dropped down to 27, night and day difference. Thanks guys.
