Got my lift and tires. Inner wheel well will be trimmed this weekend. My only complaint is my new wandering steering, I feel like Im driving a bus or dump truck at times. Im sure I could expect some of this with the lift but I wonder if it isnt a symptom of the next thing my KJ needs. A condition of my new suspension geometry? Need for wider rim? Increase or decrease backspacing ? Need bushings? Control arms? I know, I should get them all  Stock wheels, 245 75s... Thanks in advance. |

After lift, about a thousand miles and a bit of wheeling inbetween mine is settled now. Seems that it wanders ever so slightly but only if im not paying close enough attention. Also depends on roads a bit. |

I'd be getting a alignment about every month or so for the first year.I do mine every oil change,and get paid to do it  .Oh and just because it's "in specs" does not mean the alignment is good.If your wandering is at higher speeds and you checked your tie rods and R&P bushings(and are good) then you have a caster issue. |

Maybe this is or isnt related. But Tread Wright recommended a static setting of some sort during balancing? The mounting place disregarded it and said the other is better. I got a TON of weight on my wheels... |

I'm having the same issue! I'm taking mine to get the alignment checked again just to make sure, I hope its not the R&P going out. Mine was wandering a little prior to the lift but it is more pronounced now. |
