What happens, is when driving on off angle terrain, the natural movement of the springs causes the steering wheel to turn to keep the tires going straight. This eventually leads to a lack of steering ability in certain situations. With crossover, the amount of steering wheel movement to keep the tires straight is significantly reduced. Therefore reducing the chance of getting in that bound up situation where you can't steer the direction that you need to.

I dont understand, That has never happened to me in 30 years and I run some pretty uneven ground. the rubicon and Foryice are practally in my back yard. so please explain.
