I just got my JK back from AEV. They installed a 4" Superlift and 5:13 gears.

Now I have bumpsteer. What can I do to get rid of this?

I'd say, "Send it back to AEV and tell 'em to fix it!" Don't know what you paid, but I don't think you should be seeing that.

Ill probably take it back to AEV but would like some suggestions here first.

Any one else have suggestions?

Should I take it in and have it aligned?

I say take it back and let them fix it. I'm sure you paid a pretty penny to have them do it.
