Dan,
You really need a long arm kit! Its not too expensive
. Never wanted to talk too much trash about that Skycrapper lift kit, but since you are....
Always willing to help a brother out spending his own money. Good Luck!

Hey , maybe just add teraflex speed bumps they are narrower then bump stops you have they will allow you to go back to a good caster if you look at my front springs they are alittle curved to . They use a puck on the bottom and shorter up top . check out teraflex video for the bump stop setup..

But, in the meantime i spent about two hours on the phone today with Teraflex, Ruff Stuff, Rusty's, Currie and WFO discussing Heim and Johnny Joints that would fit my Skycrapper arms... Currrie has Johhny Joints that replace the Skycrapper Heim joints which, are much beefer and stronger... So I orderd the front upper and lowers just to see if they would fix my problem = if they do the next set will be on it's way...

Dan, When I had my track bar replaced with the" new improved" track bar from TeraFlex, That New and Improved thing was the elimination of the HEIM joint(
) They just dont hold up and don't last. I can tell a HUGE difference now. 
I get my front end alighnment from All Jacked Up in Surprise. Some don't like his shop, but after wasting money and time trying to get it done properly, I will only have (Dan) at All Jacked Up do my front end. He gets it right everytime. For a resonable price.(he does it old school)

I'm not saying it's your trackbar, But the problems with the HEIM joint itself. I do agree with Robert, Long arm is the way to go if you are going to replace the lift. That also is on my upgrade list.
