So both the correction brackets and front track bar have been installed. First, I'll start off by saying, what a huge difference! It is much more manageable to drive than it was. I still need to get it aligned but I can already feel a difference. It isn't perfect by any means, but better. While driving around my ESP BAS light came on but I'm hoping that an alignment may correct that because I doubt it's a bad sensor or anything since the Jeep has just been sitting for the last week.

I guess no one bothers to read the board and the stickies still. Just whatever the guy behind the parts counter at 4wd suggests. No offense but 4" is a little too much and Rough Country is junk. Your wallet is going to bleed uncontrollably and sorry I only skimmed the last few pages but it sounds like it's already started.
Also if you know things aren't tightened, torqued and set up correctly to begin with why even bother driving it around??
Anyways sorry to be that guy but your going to be busy. Good thing is there are hundreds of others who did the same thing so you should be able to read throw a few threads and see how they fixed their mistakes.
Good luck.

Alright so sorry to keep everyone waiting...I've been in the process of moving so I've been kept pretty busy. Anyways, after taking the rig back to the alignment shop earlier this week, the steering specs were corrected and I centered the steering wheel while it was on the alignment rack. Let's just cut to the chase and say that the Jeep is fun to drive again! Everything came together very nicely and overall I'm satisfied with the results. Now here's a little teaser picture to share for now...
