Default drag link flip or high steer

I have a little bit of a shimmy or bumpsteer happing after my 4" lift but not sure which I would be better off with. It only wobbles when I hit a bump goin over 40mph. Quickly stops without any change in driving. Also have to adjust my track bar to move my axle over 1/8th of an inch. Might have something to do with my wobbles?

from the faq's

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?
A: For a 4" lift, you should have a set of 4" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, extended brake lines, longer sway bar links, adjustable front track bar, adjustable rear track bar, front and rear track bar relocation brackets, dropped pitman arm, adjustable upper and lower control arms front and rear and new double cardin u-joint style drive shafts.


i would go with the draglink flip though.

Part of the TF kit needs to be welded and would be very stout. I don't have a welder so I got the Evo and love it.

I was under the impression that the two go hand in hand (draglink flip and high steer bracket) Do you create bump steer by flipping the draglink and not raising the track bar or vise versa? I'm trying to get a good understanding of this cus I have an AEV high steer bracket sitting in the garage and a Rock Krawler draglink and tie rod waiting to be installed. Any info to get a better understanding would be gratly appreciated
