I installed an ultimate kit and 35's over the weekend, and I too have the "wander" and ESP issues despite trying once (read: shooting in the dark) to adjust the camber by pulling the front lowers out about 5/8" longer than stock. I basically have no idea what I'm doing in this department, so I've got an appointment on Thursday with a reputable 4x4 shop to have them check everything out before I hop in it on Monday to drive from SF to Tucson 
All in all, it's driveable, but I would really like to dial things in to get the "better than stock" ride that everyone claims with the ultimate kit. I'll see what happens on Thursday and make sure I debrief to understand what they actually adjusted (since I left the uppers stock length going in).

Just a guess. But thats probley your problem.. I had some wondering issues with my ulitmate kit, thats was ultimately the problem. I had to adjust my control arms. If you dont have them the exact same lenth it'll also pull you left or right.

I am pretty sure you are way shallow on the caster if you left your uppers the stock length. I am guessing they need to be shorter than stock. I have my uppers as short as they go because I don't have the lowers yet. Basically, if your springs and shocks are off your bump stops should hit right in the middle. I guess another way to tell if you have enough caster is you steering wheel should snap back to center after make a slow turn.

Mine will be here on thursday, but I have little to no knowledge on how to install it, so I am paying a professional to do it for me. I figure my life is at stake and I would rather put it in the hands of someone who knows what they doing. I'll let you know how it goes
