I'd recommend a flip kit too. I think AEV packages the 3.5 kit with the flip now.
It came with mine. Drives like normal. I can talk on my cell, eat a footlong chili cheese dog, and drive with my knee at 80moh.![Wink](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.png)
But really, it tracks well. My caster is right at factory spec, 4 degrees. I did use the drop brackets that came with the kit.
Sent from some string and a few tin cans.

If your alignment is good get rid of the stabilizer you have I had the same problem. Replace it with a non gas charged stabilizer. Try to drive with out the stabilizer and see what happens
Get a drag link flip kit also.

What tires are you running? 45psi is too high for our rigs. I would drop them to 30 psi and do a chalk test to fine tune them for the best ride and wear. Running too much air can definitely cause wandering.

I don't think I could get to 80 with it pinned. And I agree 45 psi is way toooo much air, I couldn't imagine the ride at 60psi!! ![doh](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif)
You have already got some great advice but I wouldn't also rule out maybe a tire out of balance either.

I'm willing to bet your caster angles are about 1-2*, like I said before. What are you running for arm lengths? Lower your tire pressure to around 30 psi, and get a reasonable caster angle and you will notice a night and day difference.

Finally got a rep to listen at the dealer and we are doing just fine now. Not sure what they do but he indicated adjustments needed to be tweeted after a lift settles. Speedo is now correct and drives great.
