To avoid the "pull" from aftermarket SS; I went and forked over the cash for the new FOX ATS SS. I think you are going to have to get use to it, or not use it if the pull bothers you too much. Good luck.

Well I put the stock ss back on and it still is steering to the left so I think I need to get it aligned.

Did you put the stabilizer on after the lift was installed?

Default Bilsteins

I just installed the dual Bilsteins because of the push/pull of the single set up.

You will get rid of the issue if you install two of them as the push/pull is counter acted by two units working against each other.

Mine works perfectly!

I put the Bilstein ss on with the lift. Then I tried adjusting it to eliminate the steering to the left. It was suggested the putting the stock ss would fix the problem. I did so last night and still have the problem.

I centered the axles, did the alignment using the write-up and since this was the 1st time doing my own alignment, I took it to an alignment shop that understood Jeeps and larger tires (they should not be aligned to oem specs), everything checked out fine

Did the lift come with anything to recenter the axle? Arms, track bar, brackets, bolts?
