I am not going to repalce my steering stabalizer and stick with the stock. I don't want to try and cover up any underlying issues. I am heading back to the shop end of the week for a retorque and to have the alignment checked. Not going to order LCAs until we try and and figure out what is causing the issue. Hopefully it is just an alignment issue.

Your caster is probably in the 2-2.5* range now. Only way to fix this is with LCA's.

I may just nab the RC front LCA and be done with it. They won't break the bank. I just hear hit or miss whether they are needed right now for a 2.5 inch lift.

SpicedCrusher is right. Only way to get that caster back is LCA's unfortunately. Your also right... It's very hit or miss at that height whether you need them or not. Caster is the deciding factor.

I would agree the Castor Angle may be off, but I would also play with my tire PSI a litttle as well. Tires hunting for a groove in the right lane can make a vehicle flightly at speed. If you get the same thing in the Left lane then so be it, but look at the PSI again. Mine still tracks flightly when I'm in a right lane with has seemingly imperceptable grooves.
Good luck.
