Yes streeing stab yea deff nothing else i really should look into it. But since i change the streeig stab i havent had a prob . Just the track bar bushing is worn and you cant replace the bushing and have the same results.

6" of lift and factory trackbar? 
At that lift height, you really should be running some form of steering correction front (and matching rear roll center correction). My suggestion would be flipping the drag link to the top of the knuckle, and raising the axle trackbar bracket by 3". You should also run an adjustable trackbar as you will not be raising the axle mount enough to keep the factory trackbar.
If you raise the trackbar at the axle you can not use the teraflex trackbar unless running 4"+ of bumpstop. The bend in the trackbar will hit the pitman arm at full pasenger compression. RK or synergy trackbars are straighter and work well with high steer.
If you raise the front 3" for high steer, I highly recommend raising the rear 3-4" as well if you havent already. If you do not you will have negative roll center's front and rear and your handeling will get worse, not improve.
