Adam, check your ball joints. I just came from Evan's shop, did both sides of ball joints and replaced the rear ABS sensor on the passenger side and rear pads while he worked on other rigs. Had 4 of us from the club today working on our rigs side by side.
I had a slight steering wheel shimmy and a minor death wobble when going over certain uneven roads or bumps. So far, not a single shimmy since the ball joints. He did tell me to get a TF SS, the OEM one is too skinny of a SS for 35s and wheelin' he thinks. Plus, I ripped all the suspension bolts tight with his airgun, epsecially the trackbar.
ESP/ABS/BAS/TCS lights all went off. Pulled the rear rotors and cleaned off all the caked on mud and grim from the tone rings. Used the air gun to blow them dry. Replaced the rear passenger sensor, good to go.
Check your toe, while up on the lift, all of us noticed my tie rod is bent, that throws off toe which can definitely cause DW. Check your SS for leaks and/or change it out to a beefier unit. Don't go with RMS, those guys are not Jeep guys, they don't normally work on Jeeps.

I also mounted the female end of the tube to the axle since my SS relocation bracket raised the other end and I wanted the oil resting at the bottom of the tube instead of on the seal. Like I said, whateva.

Yes, I mounted it this way:
Mike from here was told by the AEV engineers that the damper MUST be installed this way. The guy from RMS said it does't matter which way you mount it. So I did it as pictured.
I test fit it first, and it didn't seem to make a difference in terms of clearance, so I figured better safe than sorry.

BB that is some sick armor how much did that go for? I love how that looks. I like the second pair of rims there. But its your truck man, grab what you want. Also saw a blue four door with a 3' lift. With 4 I think procomp tires, and a stock alloy for the spare. It was on 347 by Port Jeff Jeep.
