Axle side CA mount
So could this be my problem with my flightiness? Both CA's were completely shortened, so caster can't be adjusted anymore, do I need to weld washers in?

Did you punch those out for cam bolts or did a shop/previous owner do it? Yes, you need to weld washers in. And to improve your caster and reduce the flighty feeling, you need to lengthen the lower control arms, not shorten them.

The shop that installed my lift must have. I installed the control arms a few months ago and for some reason I thought that's how the mount looks from the factory, that's why I wish I did the lift myself. Thanks for the help.

Man you might want to post up whatever shop did that to your Jeep. That's stupid on stupid right there. Those tabs they cut out are for cam bolts, which are a bad idea to begin with and which you totally don't need with adjustable arms.

Those arms are also mounted upside down and need to swapped from side to side. The rubber joint needs to be at the axle end not the flex joint. I would have the shop fix what they screwed up and then never go back.

I called the shop and he thought that welding in washers would lose the ability to adjust the control arms. I hope their welding work is better than their jeep knowledge.
