rtc dampners cause heaps of preload on ya steering and flog componants out fast
bet bet is to fix whats realy causing the issues instead of masking them
ie fix castor, replace worn bushes, tie rods, king pin bearings etc

2 inch lift will bring your caster down to 0 degrees, which will cause the car to wander/track about on the roads - tends to follow the lines/bumps

X2. This will be your problem

dirtygq, what size are your road tyres n what size are your muds?
it is generally more to do with tyre size than type.................................. unless you are running tyres not designed for road use
