Return to stock specs. Suspension mods for looks are always dumb, the price to be paid shows up in more than handling woes.
I live in one of the windiest places in America, the Texas Gulf Coastal Bend. Steady winds of 25-mph are not uncommon, nor are days like that with gusts to 40 and 60. 80 mph is when it gets your attention. Wind turbines and wind surfing. For drivers -- especially big trucks and those towing travel trailers -- good handling is paramount. Dead-center steering, poor tire transient response, etc, all play havoc at the wrong moment.
We've had several Jeep Cherokees so I feel I know what you are talking about.
One of the true trailer towing experts recommends tires of a width no greater than rim width, and a shorter sidewall where load ratings are the same as OEM recommendations, all for improved solo and towing road performance. Tall tire sidewalls combined with jinxed suspension is bad news.
Glad you are okay.
