I got the wheel strait and that took care of that problem. This is my first lift so sorry for the stupid questions but when I drive the steering wheel has a slight shimmy and the front feels floaty. I also put a dual steering stabilizer, and quick discos any help would be great

May be unrelated but did you tq control on ground or when still in air. When I did a lift along time ago I did do that and had vibrations. I thought tq on jacks but later learned to put on ground and rock jeep back and forth then tq bolts

Were both the drop pitman and trackbar bracket installed? One without the other may cause some steering issues.
Tire shops like to severely over-inflate new tires, but you say you are still running the same set so not the problem.
As noted above, tightening all of the suspension components while in the air could cause some binding. If so, loosen them all with your jeep sitting on the ground, them give both bumpers a few good shakes before tightening everything up again.
