Rear Suspension Shifting
Just installed my RK 2.5 lift and feels like the rear is shifting around. I had the same setup on my old JK and had no problems. Any idea what this could be from?

who installed the lift. first thing that comes to mind is asking whether or not you torqued all the bolts to the proper setting while the jeep has all four tires and wheels on the ground.

I did the install. I checked all the bolts a few times now and everything is still good.

Which RK 2.5 lift do you have, the Stock Mod or the Max Travel?
If the rear is "shifting around" the trackbar keeps it from moving left to right and the control arms keep it from moving front to back (basically).
Check for bad/worn bushings in the control arms. They can let your rear shift around and all the bolts will torque properly.

Double check rear track bar bolts. Also, have a buddy push the side to make it sway left and right, look under and you should be able to see what is going on.
