Front Lower Control Arm Recommendations???
I uses the rear links from the Rubicon package I got on the front of my rig. I left my originals on the rear. I now have the same links on front and rear. I don't think it is track bar as the front end is only pushed to the drivers side by about 1/8". I figure I got about 3.25" total with the increased spring rates (18/59).

I did read though that angles found with an angle finder are about 2deg less than an alignment rack would read. If that's the case I would need to be between 6-7deg with the angle finder so i am definitely low. I'm just not sure that difference in angle could cause these problems with DW and bump steer?
I had the same problem with DW when I installed 4-door springs and 2 inch spacers. I took an inch of spacer out and DW was gone. Everything else was stock at the time. Someplace around 3" of lift and geometry is off enough for DW.
Put stock springs in and see what happens.

I had bad bump steer from my lift. Bump steer is the beginning of death wobble or rather puts it into death wobble. I now death wobble well, my 72 Chevy 4x4 had it bad so I know just what it feels like. I did nothing other than increase the caster to 6.0 degrees. Bump steer was almost completely gone. Drag link flip and track bar raise finished it off. Caster is a huge thing!!
