you likely need to center your steering wheel. check the write ups for the details.

Open the link

Click on the pic in the upper left corner (save it somewhere for quick reference...) The drag link is outlined in a purpley color. And it even says something 'drag link', with an arrow pointing at the, you guessed it, drag link...

Read the "Re-centering Your Steering Wheel " section. Loosen bolts, twist, check steering wheel, twist more, check steering wheel, etc... Tighten bolts. Done

maybe i missed it but where was the sarcasim? you've got some on here trying to help you out. also, i don't know anything about the kit you bought but hopefully it had something included to address the castor issues with 4" of lift. without it, your jeep will drive funky.
