Massive bump steer

Hello
After getting bored of my clio ( which cant do a lot of offroading, believe me I've tried) I bought a new SJ but it suffers from really bad bump steer, probably because of the crap lift kit it has. And before i go out and buy a reverse lift, I was wondering what it would take to coil the front axle only ( I've noticed alot of jeeps like hilux's landcruisers have this setup), would this kill the bump steer completely?

any help much appreciated.

What lift kit does is have? Shackles?

They are generally rubbish! Also how much lift do you have?

took the words right outta my mouth, we kinda need to know what it's current set up is to help work out what might be the problem :doublethumbs:

yeah its those horrible shackles i think there 3 inch, I just wanted to know whether i would be better off going for all round reverse lift (2 inch) or coils front and reverse back would be nice to know if anyone try this set up before.

my old anus used to have a reverse lift all round and that still bump steered but not a much as this one i've got now. Would be nice to kill it completly as this will be my only car come august

cheers guys
