Is the rear trackbar on rightside up? I know that mine is a different manufacturer. See my example.

The important thing there is to have the mounting points as level as possible. Looks like they have a bend around the diff where most others bend the bar over it for clearance.

I was referring to the aev design with the bends. After looking at it some more it looks like it is mounted correctly. AEB just uses a unique design I am not use to seeing.

Im not sure what it is now. I had it put on before I picked the Jeep up so it was put on brand new. The reason Im adding the Synergy LCAs is to dial in the caster. Since the AEV is not really adjusatble, I am hoping this is part of the problem. I am basically replacing everything in the front and re aligning it so it better drive nice when its done!

You are at a height you are going to struggle with caster and pinion angle, it is unlikely you will be able to achieve proper caster without a caster corrected axle housing due the extreme pinion angles that can cause vibrations and driveshaft and even transfer case failure. You may just have to live with the flighty steering as I doubt the adjustable arms are going to do it for you and the drop brackets actually will give you a better ride due to the geometry they offer with flatter angles on the lower arms.
