Throw money at parts that may or may not help the issue instead of getting the alignment specs to see where you're currently at. Makes sense!

Start with the numbers. Then research the different forms of caster correction. You might decide on arms instead of brackets.

I don't think its throw money, I do want the axle centered. Are the control bracket drop for the top or bottom arms?

I have the same setup and properly inflating (which in this case was DEFLATING) my tires made all the difference in the world. I was running too much pressure in my Dick Cepek 35's... after airing down to just under 29 psi at all four corners it solved my swerving. What PSI are you currently running? I'm on the RC 2.5" setup, Mickey Thompson Classic 17's, Dick Cepek Fun Country's and a synergy adjustable track bar.

Edit - Just saw you're running 36 psi... humor me and air down to 29 or 28... The difference was night and day for me.

The bracket hangs down from the frame, then the frame ends of both the upper and lower arms bolt to the bracket.

I'll definitely deflate my tires and I just noticed my new Rc trackbar got delivered today too sitting at my front door. Hopefully tomorrow I'll install it.

Lower tire pressure helped me out greatly. Give it a try. I went from 38 to 28. So much better now.

So I installed my adjustable track bar yesterday and the jeep does handle alot better. Axle is perfectly centered to the frame.
Today I'm going to drop the tire pressure from 36 to 30.
I'll let you know tomorrow how it feels.
I am getting a little squeakiness coming from the front which I didn't gave before. Bolts tightened to 125
