Sloppy steering after EVO long arm lift
I just had an EVO long arm lift installed with a FOX ATS steering stabilizer with 35" x12.5" nitto trail grapplers on 17" atx slabs (about 100 pounds each) and my steering is a bit sloppy, a little play before turning when wheel is at center and when going from right to left or left to right. Anyone had a similar issue or have any idea of a solution?

Agree, sounds like a legit alignment is a good first step. Additionally, checking all the bolt torques.
Heavy and large tires will also highlight weaknesses in the steering. Worn ball joints, flex in the steering box (steering brace made a world of difference for me), worn drag link ends, etc.

If you flipped the Drag link and installed the long arm kit you should have everything you need for it to drive perfectly. I have this kit on my Jeep and can drive with one finger at 80MPH with out any wandering at all.
