There anyway to fix this without a dealer visit? I have a Flashpaq but apparently been told it won't do anything far as that goes, id have to buy a procal. If that's so that's to be ignorant. Spend more money for more features not less! and yes I know to check the driveshafts. Mostly street driving with the occasional off road trip.
Its prob your steering angles and bumpsteer causing the TC issues. Remove the bracket until you get the DL installed.

Alright I removed the front TB bracket and also found out the top shock bushings up front weren't working properly so I ended up swapping bushings from the stock rubi shocks. About to test drive and see how she acts.

Bump steer is gone. Ended up readjusting the drag link to close to factory length. so far no more esp/trac issues. Thanks guys for the advice. Starting to save the few extra bucks to order a HD drag link.

I'd suggest the caster correction first.

Then before you throw money at a new draglink, and a new axle side trackbar bracket, and drilling out the knuckle, and ..., drive it with proper caster and see what you think. You just might decide not to hassle with the flip, or put it further down on your priority list.
