I would find out whatever dealership in your area has the absolute best track-record with jeeps, and go from there..

I think that they will look at the lift and tires, then walk away laughing. But give it a shot. What's the worst that can happen, they say no? Or flag your jeep and void the warranty...
Or, maybe they'll give you a deal on offset bj's or something. Depends where you go and who you get.

Not sure how it happened...probably these craptastic Michigan roads with the mini speed bumps everywhere.
This Jeep never sees more than the pavement....that's what the YJ is for!
so can't be bent from abuse.

Get an alignment and go from there. Be aware that your camber is most likely out of spec, which is 100% normal for the JKs. I'd say up to -.9 is within spec. You'd have to have a REALLY bent C to cause tire wear issues. Tire wear problems are more likely due to other alignment factors such as toe, or bad ball joints. Incorrect tire pressure is another one that will do it. If you didn't chalk test your tires from the start, you may have been wearing the tires unevenly.

Thanks for all the help guys I will report back after the alignment is done
