And, if you feel you do not have the mechanical skills and/or patience to install ball joints, do not pay more than $350 for a shop to install all four! Desert Rat 4x4 in AZ, that was there price. I ended up doing the install myself though. 12 hours but well worth it for my first time.
Good Luck!

Ok I got my jeep back and toon some pics. You can see that they arnt parallel at all. The trackbar needs to be raised on the axel side and lowered on the frame side. And the draglink flipover would be a bonus, not sure how that helps. I think the EVO kit would be the best.

Take a pic from straight on like in the vid, mark the mounting holes and connect them.

- you can see that the bars arnt parallel. With out a stabilizer(one in picture is blown) the jeep is just about un-driveable with the amount of bumpsteer I get, only when I hit bumps tho. I hope that EVO kit fixes it.

#1600440 Flip Drag Link Kit that was designed for that 4" kit. Looks like you have a Gen1 TeraFlex Trackbar. I wonder really consider upgrading that also to the newer style that TeraFlex offers. I can get you a exchange credit here for it. Pm me if your interested.
