The new track bar definitely helped eliminate the flighiness. I know lca's would help too but they only do so much unless the axle is centered first. I may add them down the road to help with fuel consumption but for now I'm just happy my jeep drives straight lol.

i am sorry to say but i would totally disagree with your assesment. you can totally drive straight and just fine with your axles being off center and people do it all the time. due to its very nature, if you were to load up your jeep with heavy bumpers and a ton of gear, your jeep could lose as much as 1/2"-3/4" at the front or rear or both and, that would cause your axles to see a measureable shift. and, in spite of it, you wouldn't have any new flightiness. there are several things that will help address flightiness but the one that will do the most is more positive caster and, you can only add more with adjustable control arms. while caster is normally set with upper control arms, on a small lift like this, adjustable lower control arms will allow you to do the same thing and with less effort.
